Position in forest and in garden (8)
I believe the answer is:
standing
'position' is the definition.
(standing is a kind of position)
'in forest and in garden' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'STANDING' can be found hidden inside 'forest and in garden'.
(Other definitions for standing that I've seen before include "Good repute" , "(Of corn) not yet reaped" , "type of committee" , "Being a candidate - status" , "Still in" .)
