To convert, transform, or develop something into a garden; to apply garden-like qualities or cultivation to a space.
From 'garden' plus the suffix '-ize' (to make or become), borrowed from Greek '-izein.' The '-ize' suffix became standard in English for creating verbs meaning 'to make something into' or 'to treat as.'
The '-ize' suffix is so powerful that we can turn almost any noun into a verb—capitalize, modernize, gardenize. Some people love it, some hate it, but English keeps happily '-izing' new words.
