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]
