Country garden under coating of snow (6)
I believe the answer is:
sweden
'country' is the definition.
(Sweden is an example)
'garden under coating of snow' is the wordplay.
'garden' becomes 'eden' (Garden of Eden in the Bible).
'under' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'coating of' suggests removing the centre (only the letters that coat the word remain).
'snow' with its centre taken out is 'sw'.
'eden' put after 'sw' is 'SWEDEN'.
(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "northern kingdom" , "Country with blue and yellow flag" , "Its capital's Stockholm" , "We send out to here, oddly" , "in E" .)
