Etymology
Gardening comes from the old word garden, which originally meant a small 'enclosed' outdoor space, the same idea you see in the simple word yard. So gardening is literally the activity of growing and caring for plants in that little enclosed area, which is why it usually means tending flowers, vegetables, or herbs at home.
