garden
Where vegetables grow
A garden is a plot of land where plants are cultivated—flowers, vegetables, herbs, or ornamental shrubs.
British English uses garden where Americans say yard: The children played in the garden.
To garden is to tend such a space.
Garden-variety means ordinary or unremarkable.
To lead someone down the garden path is to deceive them gradually.
