A vine (Latin vīnea "grapevine", "vineyard", from vīnum "wine") in the narrowest sense is the grapevine (Vitis), but more generally it can refer to any plant with a growth habit of trailing or (that is, climbing) stems, lianas or runners.

The word also can refer to such stems or runners themselves, for instance when used in wicker work.

A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years.

The term ( + , "through the years") is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials.

The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials.

In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species.

In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height.

Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight.

In looser senses, the taller palms, the tree ferns, bananas and bamboos are also trees.

Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old.

The tallest known tree, a coast redwood named Hyperion, stands high.

Trees have been in existence for 370 million years.

It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world.

A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature.

The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials.

The most common form today is known as a residential garden, but the term garden has traditionally been a more general one.

Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called zoological gardens.

Western gardens are almost universally based on plants, with garden often signifying a shortened form of botanical garden.

In botany, a bulb is structurally a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy.

(In gardening, plants with other kinds of storage organ are also called "ornamental bulbous plants" or just "bulbs").
