heres my take on Yard or Garden , depends what language you are using .
English or American English
English ...
Garden , unpaved area either at front, side or back of house containing plants, flowers/trees/vegetables
English ...
Yard , enclosed area usually by walls or buildings, surface either paved or cobbled
American English...
Garden , formal area of a park usually planted with flowers , ( a rose garden)
American English ....
Yard , unpaved area either at front, side or back of house containing plants, flowers/trees/vegetables
Brian , think of it this way , the White House lawn is Americas backyard and the Rose garden is the posh/formal bit.
