Garden

:''The Garden can also refer to Madison Square 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 is known as a residential garden. Western gardens are almost universally based around plants. ''Zoos'', which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called ''zoölogical gardens''. Some traditional types of eastern gardens, such as Zen gardens, use plants sparsely or not at all. Food-producing gardens are distinguished from farms by their smaller scale, more labor-intensive methods, and their purpose (enjoyment of a hobby rather than produce for sale); this distinction is not always clear-cut, however. The gardening article discusses the differences and similarities between gardens and farms in greater detail. Gardening is the activity of growing and maintaining the garden. This work is done by an amateur or professional gardener. A ''gardener'' might also work in a non-garden setting, such as a park, a roadside embankment, or other public space. ''Please help add towikibooks:gardening'' ==Relating to the garden== A garden can have many purposes— aesthetic, functional, and recreational. People develop a relationship with the space. That relationship can take many forms; among these are: * Cooperation with nature ** plant cultivation ** Animal husbandry * Observance of nature ** Bird and insect watching ** Reflection on the changing season * Relaxation ** Family dinners on the terrace ** Children playing in the yard ** Reading in the hammock ** Maintaining the flowerbeds ** Pottering in the shed ** Basking in warm sunshine * Growing useful produce ** Flowers to cut and bring inside for indoor beauty ** Fresh herbs and vegetables for cooking ==Other similar spaces== Other outdoor spaces that are similar to gardens include: * 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, often for public use. * An arboretum is a planned outdoor space, usually large, for the display and study of tree. * A farm or orchard is for the production of food stuff. * A botanical garden is a type of garden where a wide variety of plants are grown both for scientific purposes and for the enjoyment and education of visitors. * A zoological garden, or zoo for short, is a place where wild animals are cared for and exhibited to the public. ==Garden planning and design== Garden planning and garden design may be undertaken by a professional. A landscape architect is a trained, certified and registered professional who can plan and realise outdoor spaces. A garden designer is usually trained to plan and realise residential gardens. The planner must give consideration to many factors: * Purpose * Existing conditions * Financial constraints * Maintenance implications ==Elements of a garden==

The elements of a garden consist of natural conditions and materials, as well as man-made elements: Natural conditions and materials: * Soil * Rock (geology) * Light conditions * Wind * Rain * Air quality ** Pollution ** Proximity to ocean (salinity) * Plant materials Man-made elements: * Terrace, patio, deck * Paths * Lighting * Raised beds * Outdoor art/sculpture, such as Gazebo * Pool, water garden, or other water elements ==Types of gardens== Gardens may feature a particular plant or plant type: * Cactus garden *Fernery * Herb garden * Lawn * Orchard * Rose garden *White garden * Wildflower garden Gardens may feature a particular style or aesthetic: * Alpine or Rock garden * Bonsai or miniature garden * Chinese garden * Cottage garden * Tropical garden * Formal garden * Geometric garden * Informal garden * Japanese garden * Zen garden * Naturalistic garden * Water garden * Wild garden Gardens may function in a particular manner: * Botanical garden * Community garden * Raised bed gardening * Residential garden * Roof garden * Vertical garden * Water or soil-less gardening (hydroponics) * Walled garden * Windowbox * Zoological garden ==History of gardens== See History of gardens page. == Gardens in literature == * Garden of Eden * ''Romance of the Rose'' * Nathaniel Hawthorne's short-story "Rappaccini's Daughter" * Frances Hodgson Burnett's ''The Secret Garden'' * ''Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'' * Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera ''La Finta Giardiniera'' ==See also== * List of botanical gardens * List of gardens * List of notable historic gardens in the History of gardens article * Garden design * Paradise garden Garden Gardening la:Hortus

Garden

The distinction between garden and gardening is delicate; we need to bound these carefully, so as to avoid random duplication. Main distinction is that one is a class of objects, and the other is an activity; so garden can describe gardens "statically", while gardening describes the endeavor. Many topics don't bother to divide things this finely, but the size of the topic justifies it here I think. The computer and computing articles are analogous. User:Stan Shebs 19:05, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC) I'm in complete agreement, and that's exactly the intention with setting up the garden article instead of continued redirection to the gardening article. There is, however, quite a bit of deconstruction to be done from the current mish-mash of articles, so that they become coherent articles. And those are the tasks still to be done. Little by little, as time permits. : User:Sfdan 20:24, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC) I was editing at Gardening and noted there was an article Garden. Personally, I think the difference is not one worth preserving, but clearly some of you do. It would therefore be helpful for you to better define the "different" directions of the two articles more so than the current rather obvious definitions of place vs activity (I think I am more or less repeating Stan's comment above) and asking for a bit more justification. In general, combining would actually result in a far better article, with new articles split off for the different kinds of gardens. Which raises the obvious questions: should there be a roof garden and roof gardening, vegetable garden and vegetable gardening, etc. ? - User:Marshman 17:42, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC) :Further, the redirects could do with some cleanup. "Residential gardening" is linked here, but redirects back to the same article, "Garden". "Gardener" redirects to "gardening", not totally unexpected, but surely a couple of paragraphs can be written on the profession, there have been historical gardners and pioneering gardener, not to mention that we now have lifestyle and celebrity gardeners as well. User:Quill 22:54, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC) == garden design? == Garden design and __designer link to landscape architect. Did someone intend to create specialized entries wrt garden design? Otherwise, I'm going to edit the links. User:Quill 01:09, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
