A sun trap is a landscape feature designed to capture #solar energy while shielding from cold winds, creating a warmer #microclimate.

This can occur naturally or be intentionally crafted, often in a horseshoe shape with taller plants at the back and shorter ones at the front. Such designs allow for the cultivation of tender plants that require longer growing seasons than the surrounding area permits. Sun traps are particularly beneficial in colder climates, enhancing #gardening opportunities and plant #diversity.
