To design effectively you should, at the very least, understand the fundamental concepts involved in the brief. So, I'd better start at the beginning; what exactly is a garden?
Consulting the online OED gives the following singular definition:
Garden
A piece of ground adjoining a house, in which grass, flowers, and shrubs may be grown.
and the following plural definition
Gardens
Ornamental grounds laid out for public enjoyment and recreation.
