A sun trap garden catches the sun throughout the day and is a sheltered space that doesn't have much (or any) shade. This can happen as a result of the natural garden environment, or you can design it that way using trees, hedges, or hardscaping features like walls and terraces to create the right effect.
Think of a sun trap garden as a sheltered micro-climate that allows you to grow plants that wouldn't thrive in other situations. And now that you're aware of what not to put in your garden's sun trap — it's time to note down what you can indeed put in this area of the home. You'd be glad to know that it's also one of the best places to position pools, ponds, and other water features, as well as create a seating area or choose other modern garden ideas that utilize the sunshine.
