How it's used
Refers specifically to a landscaped or cultivated outdoor space, often associated with a private residence or a public park. While it implies a sense of design or aesthetic care, it is less common in daily speech than 花園, which is the standard term for a garden or backyard. Use 庭園 when describing a more formal, spacious, or traditional style of garden.
