lat. hortus gardinus : a cultivated enclosed area

“the real test of a well-composed garden is not how nicely it blooms but how beautifully it decomposes” – Piet Oudolf, avant-gardener.

I saw an old man who had a few acres of desert soil, unsuitable for farming, pasture or vine. Yet, by planting amongst the scrub bushes a little grass, some lilies, verbena and poppies, in his heart he felt like a king; and returning home late at night, his table was laid with home-grown food. - Virgil
