lush vegetation

Thick green growth

Lush vegetation is plant life that grows thick, green, and healthy—the kind found in rainforests or well-watered gardens.

The phrase emphasizes abundance and vitality: The valley was covered in lush vegetation.

It often implies favorable growing conditions—ample rain, rich soil, warm temperatures.
