Puutarhapuolella

Puutarhapuolella is a Finnish term that translates to "on the garden side" or "in the garden." It refers to a specific area or concept within a garden, often implying a designated space for planting, cultivation, or leisure activities. The term is general and can be applied to various garden layouts and designs.

In a typical Finnish garden, the "puutarhapuolella" might encompass areas like vegetable patches, flower beds, or an ornamental section. It can also denote the part of the garden that is more cultivated and actively maintained, as opposed to a wilder or more natural area. The specific features and purpose of the "puutarhapuolella" are determined by the gardener's preferences and the overall design of the garden.

The concept is often associated with the Finnish tradition of gardening, which emphasizes practicality, seasonal changes, and utilizing the available space for both food production and aesthetic enjoyment.
