description: Garden is an open-source Kubernetes-native development and CI/CD platform. Garden Core, a declarative CLI and
  engine, models a project as a graph of Build, Deploy, Test, and Run actions powered by pluggable providers (kubernetes,
  local-kubernetes, container, exec, jib, helm, terraform, pulumi). Garden Cloud / Garden Enterprise add a hosted control
  plane for remote container builds, ephemeral preview environments, team dashboards, team-wide caching, secrets, RBAC, audit,
  and SSO. The CLI integrates with any CI system and IDE; teams use Garden to standardize how dev, preview, staging, and prod
  environments are built and deployed.
