What is "cultivations"

Usage examples of "cultivations".

In almost every Utopia—except, perhaps, Morris's “News from Nowhere”—one sees handsome but characterless buildings, symmetrical and perfect cultivations, and a multitude of people, healthy, happy, beautifully dressed, but without any personal distinction whatever.

From here at street level I could see the regular lines of old cultivations under the thin layer of snow.
