What does GROVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small group of trees, usually without dense undergrowth, growing naturally or planted together.
A grove is smaller and more open than a forest or wood, often planted deliberately for shade, fruit, or beauty, as in an orange grove or an olive grove. The word also appears in place names and garden design, where a grove suggests an inviting, cultivated stand of trees rather than untamed wilderness. Groves have long served as quiet spots for gathering, reflection, or shelter from the sun.
