The Park is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the look, the cultivation and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The Park can include natural and man-made materials. The most common form is known today as a residential garden square, but the term has traditionally been the more common. Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, previously called the Zoo. Western gardens are almost universally based on the plant, with the park that often signifies a shortened form of the garden.
The etymology of the word refers to a cage: it is the middle of the United Kingdom, from the Anglo-Saxon gardin gardin, jardin, from Germany; akin to old high Germany language gard, b., Kennel or compounds, in Stuttgart. See Grad (Slavic settlement) for more complete etymology. The words of the page, the courts, and Latin hortus (meaning “garden,” then the horticulture and garden), are cognates-all refer to a confined space.
The term “garden” in the United Kingdom refer to the enclosed area of land, usually adjoining buildings. This will be referred to as a page in the language of the United Kingdom.
Some traditional types of Eastern Gardens, such as Zen gardens, use plants such as parsley. Xeriscape gardens use local native plants that don’t require irrigation or extensive use of other resources while still providing the benefits of the environment of the Park. The Park may exhibit structural enhancements, sometimes called follies, including water features such as fountains, ponds (with or without fish), a waterfall or river, dry river beds, statuary, arbors, trellises and more.
