Some of my favourite books:
  • Jardín de flores raras, the last book written by the Spanish anthropologist Julio Caro Baroja.
  • Jardín de flores raras y curiosas. It's a compilation of poetry, science, philosophy, philology, etc., published in the 1570's, by Antonio de Torquemada.
  • Las semanas del jadín, by one of my favourites Spanish writers: Juan Goytisolo.

I can only think of one expression with jardín, which by the way is very similar in English: jardín de infancia.

Our English word, kindergarten, is actually a loan word from German (children's garden).

Most of my students say kindergarden. It's one of the things I'm always correcting.

In Mexico they use jardín de niños o kínder.
