Garden

A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials. The most common form today is known as a residential garden, but the term garden has traditionally been a more general one. Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called zoological gardens. Western gardens are almost universally based on plants, with garden often signifying a shortened form of botanical garden.

Famous quotes containing the word garden:

    Little Trotty Wagtail, he waddled in the mud,
    And left his little footmarks, trample where he would.
    He waddled in the water-pudge, and waggle went his tail,
    And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail.
    John Clare (1793–1864)

    Paradise endangered: garden snakes and mice are appearing in the shadowy corners of Dutch Old Master paintings.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
