Definition

A garden is an area of land where people grow flowers, plants, or vegetables. It can be a small space near a house or a larger public place for walking and relaxing.

Usage & Nuances

Often used for a private area near a house: 'back garden' or 'front garden' in British English, and often 'yard' or 'backyard' for the outdoor area in American English. 'Garden' can also mean a public ornamental space, while 'vegetable garden' is more specific than a flower garden.
