The hanging garden at the House of the Chaste Lovers in Pompeii covered the vault of a cistern and was aligned with the window of the triclinium, which overlooked it.
Analysis of the plant remains found in the small flowerbed, bounded by a little canal conveying rainwater to a cistern, indicates the presence of a spontaneous lawn made up of 30 different species, with the predominance of Graminaceae and Cruciferae, in which box-trees had been planted.
