GARDEN, the ground enclosed and cultivated for the growth of fruit, flowers or vegetables (see HORTICULTURE). From the fact that Epicurus (q.v.) taught in the gardens at Athens, the disciples of his school of philosophy were known as of arro Twv from the gardens (Diog. Laertius x. so) ; and Cicero (De finibus v. 1, 3, and elsewhere) speaks of the Horti Epicuri (the gardens of Epicurus). Thus as the "Academy" refers to the Platonic and the "Porch" ( oroa ) to the Stoic school, so the "Garden" is the name given to the Epicurean school of philosophy. For Garden Planning, See LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.
