public garden
Open civic grounds
A public garden is a cultivated green space open to everyone, typically maintained by a municipality or institution.
Unlike private gardens, public gardens invite communal enjoyment—strolling, picnicking, or simply sitting among flowers and trees.
The botanical public garden downtown has a famous rose collection.
Some feature formal landscaping; others preserve native plants.
