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. Source
