A tea garden was a place to drink tea and stroll around lawns, ponds and view statues. These smaller versions of pleasure gardens flourished in the late 18th century. Examples were Cuper's Gardens and the area that became the Caledonian Cattle Market in London, England.

Tea gardens also flourished in Japan and examples of Japanese tea gardens can be found around the world.

Tea garden also refers to a tea plantation area where tea bushes are cultivated. These are found in Turkey(Karadeniz), India, and Sri Lanka.
