Scope note
Gardens, whether public or private, intended for enjoyment and amusement. Pleasure gardens may focus on flowers, shrubs, vegetables, and fruit trees, together with pedestrian paths, water features, mazes, vistas, etc.; typically enclosed by a wall or hedge. For larger areas having a similar purpose but without an enclosing wall and including woods, use "pleasure parks." Later pleasure gardens were sometimes open to the public and charged a fee for admittance.
