Garden
A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, and usually of a somewhat limited size, which is typically set aside for the display, cultivation and enjoyment of nature. The garden allows a person or persons to develop slowly and personally a relationship with the space. That relationship is of a personal nature and may take many forms. Among these:
The garden generally incorporates natural, as well as man-made materials. In its most common form, known as a residential garden, it is found adjacent to or near to a residence, and it functions as an outdoor "room". In the same manner as an indoor space can function in many different ways, depending on a variety of factors, so too can a garden have many purposes; among these are aesthetic, functional and recreative purposes. The purpose of a garden will greatly affect its usage and design.
- Cooperation with nature
- Plant cultivation
- Animal husbandry
- Observance of nature
- Bird watching
- Reflection on the changing seasons
- Relaxation
- Family dinners on the terrace
- Children playing in the yard
- Reading in the hammock
- Puttering in the flowerbeds
These general characteristics of the garden can be compared to other spaces as follows:
The garden is designed at "human scale", as it is most often intended for private, semiprivate or limited use. These characteristics are not hard and fast. For example, the garden of a castle or of a large estate may be larger than a public park in a village, and may well produce food stuff. A publicly accessible garden will be open to the public, and may be highly trafficked.
- A landscape is an outdoor natural space of a larger scale often considered from a distance.
- A park is a planned outdoor space, usually of a larger size, intended for public or semi-public use.
- An arboretum is a planned outdoor space, usually of a larger size, intended for the display and study of trees.
- A farm or orchard is intended for the production of food stuff.
Gardening is the activity of growing and maintaining the garden's vegetation. This work may be done by a professional gardener. A gardener might work in a non-garden setting, such as a park, a roadside embankment, or another public space, and might also perform other activities, unrelated to the garden's vegetation.
Garden planning and design
Garden planning and design may be undertaken by a professional. A landscape architect}} is a trained, certified and registered professional who can plan and actualize a wide variety of outdoor spaces. A [[garden designer is usually trained to plan and actualize residential gardens.Regardless if planned and designed by a professional or a non-professional, including the owner of the property, consideration must be given to many factors. Among these are:
Elements of a garden
- Intended purpose
- Existing conditions
- Financial constraints
- Maintenance implications
Natural conditions:Man-made elements:
- Soil
- Light conditions
- Wind
- Precipitation
- Air quality
- Pollution
- Proximity to ocean (salinity)
- Terrace, patio, deck
- Paths
- Lighting
- Raised beds
- Outdoor art/sculpture
- Pool, other water elements
Types of gardens
Gardens are often categorized by a particular style, function or their extensive use of particular plants. Because gardens are a personal expression, they often cross the bounds of these categories by mixing elements of the various types. Below are some common garden types:
Gardens may feature a particular plant or plant type:
Gardens may feature a particular style or aesthetic:

John Locke | 1690 | Is it reasonable, that the eldest brother, because he has the greatest part of his father's estate, should thereby have a right to take away any of his younger brothers portions? or that a rich man, who possessed a whole country, should from thence have a right to seize, when he pleased, the cottage and garden of his poor neighbour? The being rightfully possessed of great power and riches, exceedingly beyond the greatest part of the sons of Adam, is so far from being an excuse, much less a reason, for rapine and oppression, which the endamaging another without authority is, that it is a great aggravation of it: for the exceeding the bounds of authority is no more a right in a great, than in a petty officer; no more justifiable in a king than a constable; but is so much the worse in him, in that he has more trust put in him, has already a much greater share than the rest of his brethren, and is supposed, from the advantages of his education, employment, and counsellors, to be more knowing in the measures of right and wrong.
