A garden is an outdoor area, often near a building, where people grow plants or relax.
The idea
Garden is countable: a garden, two gardens. Use in the garden for a location within it and a garden near the museum to say where it is.
Examples
- The children read in the garden.
- Our garden has three apple trees.
- She grows vegetables in her garden.
- We visited a beautiful garden near the museum.
- There are flowers in both gardens.
- He opened the gate to the garden.
