	Gardening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although a garden typically is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located in a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in a windowbox, or on a patio or vivarium.
		Gardening also takes place in non-residential green areas, such as parks, public or semi-public gardens (botanical gardens or zoological gardens), amusement and theme parks, along transportation corridors, and around tourist attractions and hotels.
		Indoor gardening is concerned with the growing of houseplants within a residence or building, in a conservatory, or in a greenhouse.
