Kipos

Kipos is a term originating from the Greek word for garden. In modern usage, it can refer to a variety of outdoor spaces, from a small residential garden to a larger public park. The concept of a kipos often emphasizes cultivation, beauty, and a connection with nature. Historically, Greek gardens served functional purposes such as providing food and herbs, alongside aesthetic and spiritual ones. The design and content of a kipos can vary greatly depending on its purpose and the climate of its location. This can include a wide range of plant life, water features, and seating areas. The word kipos is sometimes used metaphorically to describe a place of peace or abundance.
