Threats found in unkempt gardens (7)
I believe the answer is:
dangers
'threats' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'unkempt gardens' is the wordplay.
'unkempt' indicates an anagram.
'gardens' with letters rearranged gives 'DANGERS'.
'found in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dangers that I've seen before include "Hazards" , "Perils" , "Gardens (anag.)" .)
