Why is it called a hop garden and not field?

A hop garden is termed as such because it typically involves a more cultivated and carefully managed space dedicated to growing hops, which are climbing plants used in brewing beer. The term "garden" suggests a smaller, more intimate setting where specific care and attention are given to the plants, as opposed to a "field," which usually connotes larger, less managed agricultural spaces. Additionally, the structure of hop cultivation, including the use of trellises, aligns more closely with gardening practices.
