"Garden" comes to us from Latin. "What?" I hear you think: "Was the ancient Roman's garden not a hortus?"
It was. "Hortus" may even share an etymological root with "garden". The hortus became a garden, though, only when enclosed: "gardinus". A piece of wilderness guarded from the wilderness, the peristylium was, for example, a place to cultivate roses and herbs.
Of course, you need a way to get into and out of your beautifully fenced garden — a classy gate:
