Rare is the person who is not familiar with the word much less has direct experience with a garden. Most of us think of a this as a space outdoors to grow food or flowers. Think "vegetable" or "flower" as more defining terms since the word itself is pretty general.
This is really just the tip of the proverbial iceberg as imagination, how much space is available, how much time do you want to put in and money appear to be the main constraints when it comes to your particular wants and needs.
Your goal may to be create on outdoor oasis to escape to by using ponds, fountains, waterfalls, statuary, trellises, arbors and more in addition to your selection of plants. This would be "ornamental gardening" Or, perhaps, a more practical use such as growing your own food crops in order to reduce the grocery bill, having a steady supply of fresh vegetables or supplying your family with organically grown foods may be your inspiration.
We don't have to stop here as there are many other types of gardens with a variety of purposes. Using flowers provides beauty for the eye and fragrances to delight the nose. How about a garden that is planted to attract birds or insects just so you can watch? Maybe one with plants that change along with the seasons is of interest or for those that enjoy cooking a growing herbs to provide a steady fresh supply of flavor for your taste buds would be enjoyable.
On a slightly different note, the act of gardening itself is a source of enjoyment and relaxation for many. Maybe you just like digging around in the dirt and seeing plants grow. This is a great idea too.
There are so many different uses that you might find the hardest part is deciding just what kind of garden you want to start.
