garden
'der Garten' and 'der Schlossgarten' can both refer to an area with plants, paths, and often trees as well. 'Garten' is the general word and works for private gardens, but sometimes also for public parks. 'Schlossgarten' is more specific: it belongs to a palace or is located right by a palace, and is often larger or specially designed. Learners may confuse the words because a 'Schlossgarten' is also a kind of 'Garten'. When you mean a garden by a palace, 'Schlossgarten' is more natural and more precise.
