Hortus conclusus is a Latin term, meaning literally "enclosed garden". Both words in hortus conclusus refer linguistically to enclosure.[1] It describes a type of garden that was enclosed as a practical concern, a major theme in the history of gardening, where walled gardens were and are common.[2] The garden room is a similar feature, usually less fully enclosed.
