==Types==
{{Main|List of garden types}}Residential gardening takes place near the home, in a space referred to as the garden. Although a garden typically is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located [[roof garden|on a roof]], in an [[Atrium (architecture)|atrium]], on a [[balcony]], in a [[window box]], [[Patio|on a patio]] or [[vivarium]].[[File:SF Conservatory of Flowers 3.jpg|thumb|Conservatory of Flowers in [[Golden Gate Park]], [[San Francisco]]]]
[[File:Hanging baskets in thornbury arp.jpg|thumb|[[Hanging basket]]s in [[Thornbury, South Gloucestershire]]]]Gardening also takes place in non-residential green areas, such as parks, public or semi-public gardens ([[botanical garden]]s or [[zoo|zoological gardens]]), [[amusement park]]s, along transportation corridors, and around [[tourist attraction]]s and [[garden hotels]]. In these situations, a staff of gardeners or [[groundskeeper]]s maintains the gardens.

* Indoor gardening is concerned with the growing of [[houseplant]]s within a residence or building, in a [[conservatory (greenhouse)|conservatory]], or in a [[greenhouse]]. Indoor gardens are sometimes incorporated as part of [[air conditioning]] or heating systems. Indoor gardening extends the growing season in the fall and spring and can be used for [[winter gardening]].
* [[Native plant gardening]] is concerned with the use of [[native plants]] with or without the intent of creating [[wildlife habitat]]. The goal is to create a garden in harmony with, and adapted to a given area. This type of gardening typically reduces water usage, maintenance, and fertilization costs, while increasing [[native fauna]]l interest.
* [[Water garden]]ing is concerned with growing plants adapted to pools and ponds. [[Bog garden]]s are also considered a type of water garden. These all require special conditions and considerations. A simple water garden may consist solely of a tub containing the water and plant(s). In [[aquascaping]], a garden is created within an [[aquarium]] tank.
* [[Container garden]]ing is concerned with growing plants in any type of container, either indoors or outdoors. Common containers are pots, [[hanging basket]]s, and planters. Container gardening is usually used in atriums and on balconies, patios, and rooftops.
* [[Hügelkultur]] is concerned with growing plants on piles of rotting wood, as a form of [[raised bed gardening]] and [[compost]]ing [[In situ#Biology and biomedical engineering|in situ]].<ref name="richsoil">{{cite web|url=http://www.richsoil.com/hugelkultur/|title=hugelkultur: the ultimate raised garden beds|website=www.richsoil.com|access-date=2 February 2012|archive-date=7 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180107013815/https://richsoil.com/hugelkultur/|url-status=live}}</ref> An English [[loanword]] from German, it means "mound garden".

* [[Community gardening]] is a social activity in which an area of land is gardened by a group of people, providing access to fresh produce, herbs, flowers and plants as well as access to satisfying labor, neighborhood improvement, sense of community and connection to the environment.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.communitygarden.org/learn/ |publisher=American Community Garden Association |year=2007 |title=What is a community garden? |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071204082111/http://www.communitygarden.org/learn/ |archive-date=4 December 2007 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hanna |first1=Autumn K. |last2=Oh |first2=Pikai |date=June 2000 |title=Rethinking Urban Poverty: A Look at Community Gardens |url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/027046760002000308 |journal=Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society |language=en |volume=20 |issue=3 |pages=207–216 |doi=10.1177/027046760002000308 |s2cid=144427985 |issn=0270-4676}}</ref> Community gardens are typically owned in trust by local governments or nonprofits.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ferris |first1=John |last2=Norman |first2=Carol |last3=Sempik |first3=Joe |date=December 2001 |title=People, Land and Sustainability: Community Gardens and the Social Dimension of Sustainable Development |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-9515.t01-1-00253 |journal=Social Policy & Administration |language=en |volume=35 |issue=5 |pages=559–568 |doi=10.1111/1467-9515.t01-1-00253 |issn=0144-5596}}</ref>
* [[Garden sharing]] partners landowners with gardeners in need of land. These shared gardens, typically front or back [[yard (land)|yards]], are usually used to produce food that is divided between the two parties. 
* [[Organic horticulture|Organic gardening]] uses natural, sustainable methods, fertilizers and pesticides to grow non-[[genetically modified crops]].
*[[Biodynamic gardening]] or biodynamic agriculture is similar to organic gardening, but includes various [[esoteric]] concepts drawn from the ideas of [[Rudolf Steiner]], such as astrological sowing and planting calendar and particular field and compost preparations.
*Commercial gardening is a more intensive type of gardening that involves the production of vegetables, non-tropical fruits, and flowers by local farmers. Commercial gardening began because farmers would sell locally to stop food from spoiling faster due to the transportation of goods from a far distance. Mediterranean agriculture is also a common practice that commercial gardeners use. Mediterranean agriculture is the practice of cultivating animals such as sheep to help weed and provide manure for vine crops, grains, or citrus. Gardeners can easily train these animals not to eat the actual plant.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Greiner, Alyson L., 1966-|title=Visualizing human geography|date=28 January 2014|isbn=978-1-118-52656-9|edition=Second|location=Hoboken|oclc=862759747}}</ref>
*[[No-dig gardening]] (or no-till gardening) is a method of gardening that avoids tillage as much as possible. This method of gardening is gaining popularity in part due to celebrated figures such as [[Charles Dowding]], [[Masanobu Fukuoka]], [[Jean-Martin Fortier]], [[Conor Crickmore|Connor Crickmore]], Jesse Frost, [[Elaine Ingham]], and many other market gardeners. Minimal tillage has been documented to help with promoting diverse [[Soil food web|soil biology]], water retention and drainage, healthier vigorous plants, reduction in weed pressure, reduction in labor, increased fertility and nutrient availability, increase carbon sequestration, reduction in cost, reduction in soil erosion, and reduction in pollution.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ogle |first1=Stephen M. |last2=Alsaker |first2=Cody |last3=Baldock |first3=Jeff |last4=Bernoux |first4=Martial |last5=Breidt |first5=F.
