ornamental gardens
Landscaped aesthetic spaces
Ornamental gardens are cultivated spaces designed primarily for aesthetic pleasure rather than food production.
Unlike vegetable patches or orchards, they feature decorative plants, flowers, hedges, and landscaping elements arranged for visual effect: The estate's ornamental gardens drew visitors from across the region.
The term distinguishes pleasure gardens from utilitarian ones.
