nursery

'cuttings here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'surrey garden at last revitalised' is the wordplay.
'at last' suggests the final letters.
'revitalised' is an anagram indicator.
The final letter of 'garden' is 'n'.
'surrey'+'n'='surreyn'
'surreyn' anagrammed gives 'NURSERY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nursery that I've seen before include "Place to rear plants" , "to which children go" , "Rearing environment" , "Kids' playroom" , "Growing environment for plants or children" .)
