Garden... Has several definitions beyond the most common, which is a plot of ground for the planting and cultivating of life sustaining produce and flowers . The Encarta College Dictionary by MicroSoft also defines a Garden as: a park or recreational area for the public, generally planted with flowers, shrubs and trees or an Outdoor Eating and Drinking Establishment that serves its patrons outdoors.

The reason that I bring your attention to these 3 distinct definitions for Garden is to help you understand why this website, homeandgardensplus.com is as diverse as it is! To some, the Garden is a sacred place, a sanctuary if you will, for quiet reflection and meditation. For others, it is a place to cook up barbecue or grill their favorite vegetables and meats, to host parties and have a wild and crazy time. For many, a Garden will always be that place where you til the soil and plant your vegetables, fruits and flowers.

A Garden, no matter how you define it, is still that place that we go to for relaxation, a place to get away from the daily stresses and obligations that we all face. We, the publishers of this website, live in the country where we feel that we are surrounded by Garden. That said, we still have our special places that we have developed over the years that are uniquely us and that reflect the ways in which we find to relax. One area is dedicated to birds and flowers. Another is dedicated to partying with our friends. There are several tables and chairs, 2 grills and a bar. Yet another one of our "gardens" is set up with comfortable chairs, wind chimes, hummingbird feeders and the sound of running water, our place for quiet reflection and meditation, an opportunity to spend sometime with our selves and listen to the quiet. Whatever your version of relaxation and definition of Garden is, it is our intention to provide you with the resources to develop your Garden to be the unique reflection of you and your family so that you will truly enjoy that space to the MAX! Have Fun designing your Garden. We hope that over the years you will return to this site for that special piece of furniture or Garden accessory and that you will send us pictures of your creation. With your permission, we would be proud to post those pictures as inspiration to others. Enjoy your Garden! Casey Ryan
