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

Home gardens may exhibit structural improvements, sometimes called follies, including water features such as fountains, ponds (with or without fish), waterfalls or creeks, dry creek bed frames, 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 harvesting by their smaller range, more labor-intensive methods, and their purpose (enjoyment of a hobby rather than produce for sale). Blossom gardens incorporate plants of different heights, colors, construction, and fragrances to create interest and delight the senses.

Gardening is the activity of growing and maintaining your garden. This kind of work is done by an amateur or professional gardener. A gardener may also work in a non-garden setting, such as a park, a roadside bar, or other public space. Landscape architecture is a related professional activity with landscape architects maintaining specialize in design for open public and corporate clients.

Back garden design is the creation of plans for the layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Backyards may be designed by garden owners themselves, or by professionals. Professional garden designers tend to learn in principles of design and horticulture, and have an understanding and experience of using plants. A few professional garden designers are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state certificate.

Components of garden design include the layout of hard landscape, such as routes, rockeries, walls, water features, sitting areas and decking, as well as the plants themselves, with thought for their horticultural requirements, their season-to-season appearance, lifetime, 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 your home or other buildings in the surrounding areas. All of these factors are subject to the limitations of the budget. Budget limitations can be addressed by a less complicated garden style with fewer plants and less costly hardscape materials, seeds somewhat than sod for yards, and plants that increase quickly; alternatively, garden owners might want to create their garden with time, area by area.
