Spanish term or phrase: jardin enrejado
Céntrica floristería situada en el antiguo cementerio de la Iglesia XXX.
Rodeado de un jardín enrejado, en su interior no sólo se venden plantas variadas sino que también se organizan diferentes actividades culturales, como talleres infantiles, y sirve de sede de distintos eventos.

Thanks!

English translation:(set in/surrounded by) a garden behind railings
Explanation:
It isn't a fence, it's fully blown rejas. Not an easy take in English, so I've settled for railings, which at least gives some impression of the metallic structure.

agree  Charles Davis: Absolutely: enrejado is not a fence. "Enclosed by railings" would be OK as well, I think. And actually you can talk about a "railed garden"; estate agents and others often do. / I think "railed garden" is probably best, actually.

agree  Andy Watkinson: Railings 100%. "Fence" sounds too woody. You want something "tinny".

trellised garden


Explanation:
in referring to gardens, 'enrejado' =trellis
it is a description of the garden, not what encloses it.(IMO)
this is apparently a marketing brochure or ad copy and the best face is going to be put on it.

would an advertiser care as to what encloses the garden, unless it was something unusual.
