Jardinière is a French word, from the feminine form of " gardener". Jardinière has three meanings:
- A flower box, a receptacle (usually a ceramic pot or urn) or more rarely a stand upon which, or into which, plants may be placed. (The French themselves refer to tabletop versions of such receptacles as cachepots.) '' Jardinières'' tend to be highly decorative and are sometimes used as garden accent elements for large plants and for raised culinary and herb gardens.
- A dish that is cooked or served with a mixture of spring vegetables, such as peas, carrots, and green beans.
- A name for the golden ground beetle, the European mole cricket, and other species of beetles that attack plants in kitchen gardens.
