If you have a garden, you have flowers. Or flowering shrubs. Or some other ornamental display. I have a relatively large yard, but a rather small garden - but I plan to expand my garden this year with more flowers. Does that make sense?

Is the "yard" the entire plot, GG, and the "garden" the planted part?
(If so, what usually accounts for the remainder, out of interest?)

I now gather:
US: yard = the whole of the owner's land around the house
garden = part of the yard where plants are grown
UK: yard = the hard area (It's not a 'garden'.)
garden = the part(s) where plants are grown (It's not a 'yard'.)
In the US, 'garden', if ever, is part of the 'yard', while in the UK,
neither is part of the other.
Does that make sense?

If I may ...
The house sits on a lot. Areas around the house that are paved over with concrete are also on the lot. These are the driveway in front and maybe a patio in back. There might also be walkways in various places. There is a front yard or front lawn or just lawn (planted with grass) and a back yard (also planted with grass, also called lawn). The side yards are usual

To me it is quite confussing, but is this right.
In US english
A garden is the area of the yard where you have flowers, grass etc.
And the yard is the whole area which belongs to the house.
In UK english
A garden is the area where plans and grass grow.
A yard is the other part of the property where there are no plants only Tarmac and stuff.
