Prohibit part of garden? Yes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deny

'prohibit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'part of garden? yes' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'DENY' is hidden within 'garden yes'.

(Other definitions for deny that I've seen before include "Refuse to give" , "Repudiate, disavow" , "Refuse to grant" , "Refuse to acknowledge" , "Refuse to admit the truth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
