Anotations

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.
