Refreshment stood in the garden (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
tea rose
'the garden' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'refreshment stood' is the wordplay.
'refreshment' becomes 'tea' (I've seen this before).
'stood' becomes 'rose' (rose up).
'tea'+'rose'='TEA-ROSE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tea rose that I've seen before include "Flowering bush" , "Eats roe (anag.)" , "Scented garden flower" , "Garden plant" , "Bloom" .)
