A garden is a designed space, usually outdoors, put aside for the display, fostering and enjoyment of vegetation and other kinds of character. Your garden can integrate both natural and man-made materials. The most frequent form today is known as a residential garden, but the term garden has usually been an even more general one. Zoos, which display outrageous animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called zoological gardens.[1][2] Western gardens are almost universally based upon crops, with garden often symbols of a shortened form of botanical garden. Some traditional types of eastern landscapes, such as Zen backyards, use plants sparsely or not at all.

Landscapes may exhibit structural innovations, sometimes called follies, including water features such as fountains, ponds (with or without fish), waterfalls or creeks, dry creek mattresses, statuary, arbors, trellises and more. Some gardens are for ornamental purposes only, while some gardens also produce food crops, sometimes in separate areas, or sometimes intermixed with the ornamental plants. Food-producing landscapes are distinguished from facilities by their smaller level, more labor-intensive methods, and their purpose (enjoyment of a hobby rather than produce for sale). Bloom gardens incorporate plants of different heights, colors, designs, and fragrances to create interest and delight the senses.

Aspects of garden design include the layout of hard landscape, such as pathways, rockeries, walls, water features, sitting areas and decking, as well as the plants themselves, with account for their horticultural requirements, their season-to-season appearance, life-span, growth habit, size, velocity of growth, and combos with other plants and landscape features. Consideration is also given to the maintenance needs of the garden, including the time or funds available for regular maintenance, which can affect the options of plants regarding speed of growth, spreading or self-seeding of the plants, whether gross annual or perennial, and bloom-time, and many other characteristics. Garden design can be roughly divided into two groups, formal and naturalistic gardens.[6]The most important consideration in different garden design is, the way the garden will be used, followed closely by the desired stylistic genres, and the way the garden space will hook up to the house or other constructions in the surrounding areas. All of these factors are subject to the limitations of the budget. Budget limitations can be addressed by a less difficult garden style with fewer plants and less costly hardscape materials, seeds alternatively than sod for yards, and plants that increase quickly; alternatively, garden owners might want to create their garden after some time, area by area.
