Gothic as gards and O. H. Ger. gart, cf. Dutch gaarde and Ger. .garten)  , the ground enclosed and cultivated for the growth of fruit, flowers or vegetables (see HORTICULTURE) . The word is also used for grounds laid out ornamentally, used as places of public entertainment . Such were the famous Ranelagh and Vauxhall Gardens in London; it is similarly used in zoological gardens, and as a name in towns for squares, terraces or streets . From the fact that Epicurus (q.v.) taught in the gardens' at Athens, the disciples of his school of philosophy were known as of 6,716 r&ov KiprWV (so Diog . Laertius x. to) ; and Cicero (De finibus v . 1 . 3, and elsewhere) speaks of the Horti Epicuri . Thus as the " Academy " refers to the Platonic and the " Porch " (vroa) to the Stoic school, so the " Garden " is the name given to the Epicurean school of philosophy . Apollodorus was known as iorrorbpavvos, the tyrant of the garden .
