園 is formed from 囗, meaning an enclosed space, and the inner elements that suggest people and harmony. Originally, it referred to a place surrounded by walls where people gathered peacefully. Such enclosed places were used for growing plants, relaxing, and community gatherings. From this idea, 園 came to mean a garden, park, or cultivated enclosed area.
園 shows a peaceful place enclosed by walls, like a garden or park.
Imagine walking into a large space surrounded by walls, full of plants and calm people. That enclosed garden is 園.
