A place to drink, or grow, a certain beverage? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea garden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'grow a certain beverage?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a place to drink' is the wordplay.
'a place' becomes 'garden' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a drink).
'garden' put after 'tea' is 'TEA-GARDEN'.

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea garden that I've seen before include "area for refreshments" , "Outdoor cafe" , "Open-air cafeteria" , "eat alfresco here" , "Open-air restaurant for afternoon use" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
