temple gardens
Shrine's planted grounds
Temple gardens are ornamental grounds surrounding or adjacent to a religious temple, designed for contemplation, ceremony, or aesthetic enjoyment.
Japanese temple gardens are particularly celebrated for their deliberate arrangements of rocks, water, moss, and pruned plants: We spent the afternoon wandering the temple gardens in Kyoto.
The term may also refer to gardens at Hindu, Buddhist, or other religious sites worldwide.
