Trees and plants are called ornamentals if their main job is to add beauty and interest to a garden. Dogwood trees, for example, are a popular ornamental in some areas because of their white or pink blooms in the spring. Cherry and plum trees can also add beauty to landscaping even if they never produce fruit.
能为花园增添美景或趣味的树木和植株被称为观赏植物。例如，山茱萸在一些地方是很受欢迎的观赏植物，因为它们在春季会开出白色或粉红色的花。樱桃树和李子树即使不结果，也能为园林增添美景。

观赏树木和灌木除了看上去漂亮之外，还有其他的一些用途。它们中的一些气味很好闻，可以用来制造香精油--例如薰衣草和紫丁香。

观赏植物可以用来标记房屋的边界，或者为邻里之间提供隐私空间。Most ornamentals have the same needs as other plants -- water, mulch, pruning for shape and inspection for pests. But master gardener Bob Orazi says, "Most of them take care of themselves after the first six months."
大部分观赏植物都有着和其他植物相同的需求——水，护根物，修剪和检查病虫害。但是园艺大师鲍勃·奥拉西（Bob Orazi）表示，“大部分观赏植物在六个月之后就能自理。”
