What does GARDEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A piece of ground next to a house or in a public area, used for growing flowers, vegetables or plants and often laid out for enjoyment.
A garden can be a private patch behind a house where someone grows vegetables and flowers, or a large public space laid out with paths, lawns and plantings for people to walk through and enjoy. The word is also used as a verb, so someone who spends the weekend planting and weeding is said to garden, and the related word gardener names the person who does the work regularly. Some cities use garden in the names of public parks and halls, such as a botanical garden or a concert venue, extending the word beyond a simple plot of soil. Across all these uses, garden keeps its core sense of a cultivated, tended piece of ground, distinguishing it from a wild, untended field.
How GARDEN is used
