backyard garden
Behind-the-house cultivation
A backyard garden is a cultivated plot behind a home, typically used for growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers.
The term emphasizes modest scale and personal use rather than commercial production: We get most of our tomatoes from the backyard garden.
It carries connotations of self-sufficiency, hobby gardening, and connection to the land.
