George Morland's The Tea Garden
A tea garden is a garden where tea and light refreshments are served, a tea plantation, or any garden with which the drinking of tea is associated.[1] Often a peaceful place for a stroll or social event, the tea garden is a smaller form of a pleasure garden.
Types include:
- a roji, an entry garden to a Japanese teahouse, intended to set the mood of guests arriving for the Japanese tea ceremony[2]
- a garden at a teahouse
- an herb garden specializing in herbs that are consumed as tea, such as chamomile, bee balm, peppermint, lemon balm, and lavender.[3][4]
