For example, home with gardens front and back more than one saw (7)
I believe the answer is:
sayings
'more than one saw' is the definition.
(saw can mean a saying)
'for example home with gardens front and back' is the wordplay.
'for example' becomes 'say' (I've seen this before).
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in'**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'front and back' suggests removing the centre.
'gardens' with its middle removed is 'gs'.
'say'+'in'+'gs'='SAYINGS'
(Other definitions for sayings that I've seen before include "Maxims, adages" , "Comments" .)
