Question

Do many people in US have their own garden?

Answer 1

I think 27 have their own garden

Answer 2

Going by your definition “bonitakale”, there are NOT a lot of people in the United States with gardens. Most homeowners have a lawn and some landscaping but a specific area (such as borders) dedicated exclusively to flowers, fruits, vegetables and/or herbs, is the MINORITY.

On the other side of the coin, almost everyone grows something. If they don’t have a home with land, they may have window boxes on their apartment windows or a terrace or rooftop in which they use containers to “garden”. They may have a collection of foliage or flowering houseplants strewn around their home. There are those who use light stands to “garden”.

There are endless published books dedicated to “container gardens” and “square foot” gardening. These books can be used by the home owner as well as the apartment dweller.

As far as I am concerned, once you’ve planted something in soil and tend to its needs – you are gardening.

Answer 3

Generally speaking, I would say no. I would think the percentage is low, but because of the size of our population, there are still a lot of home gardeners.

Answer 4

Of course!  Many home owners landscape their yards and even grow their own vegetables and herbs as well as fruits.  There are even apartment dwellers that still put some kind of garden on their balconies.

There are so many different kinds of gardens - water gardens, woodland gardens, formal gardens, veggie gardens, herb gardens, container gardens, cottage gardens.......the list is endless.

In my experience - everyone that likes to garden or wants a garden, has a garden.....In Michigan, USA.......I know many many 1000's that have Gardens!

Answer 5

There may be a little misunderstanding here.

In England, I believe, the word for the land around the house, owned by the homeowner, is "garden".  In the US, "garden" only means a part of that -- a part that's cultivated, usually for vegetables, etc.  We call the whole property, the "yard" (often divided into back yard and front yard).

So you could have a garden of 10 x 10 feet in a yard of 50 x 100 feet.  If you didn't dig up that 10 x 10 foot area and plant stuff in it, you would say, "No, I don't  have a garden," but you still might have a large lawn and flower beds.
