My brother acquired his first gun when he was very young, from a recently-fled drug dealer's residence. Now, he lived in a rural orange-grove area, and he shot at coyotes who killed his animals and at drug runners who used the groves for transport. Sometimes he joked that he only shot what moved.

Each time I caught sight of geese swooping in formation across the sky, I wondered how our life below might look from their perspective, and imagined that, were they ever to indulge in such speculation, the high-rises might seem to them like firs massed in a grove.

I suppose that few people ever forget the first sight of a palm-tree of any species. I vividly remember seeing one for the first time at Malaga, but the coco-palm groves of the Pacific have a strangeness and witchery of their own.

We know the Lord makes His servants bold. The young boy Joseph who saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in a grove of trees was transformed into a spiritual giant.

Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

English Dramatist

Walter Scott

Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

Used to describe natural areas where trees are the main feature, without much else growing.

Natural Setting

Often implies trees have been curated or maintained by people, as opposed to wild forests.

Human Influence

Refers to a smaller area than a forest or wood, intimate enough for a stroll.

Small Scale

Implies human-planted trees, specifically for fruit production; not natural growth.

Agricultural Context

Usually refers to certain types of trees, like citrus or olive, more than others.

Specific Trees

In the UK, 'Grove' can be part of a street name, often a quiet, tree-lined road.

Place Names

As a street name, it suggests a pleasant, peaceful residential neighborhood.

Residential Areas

In historical and religious texts, signifies a place of worship or spiritual significance.

Sacred Spaces

Often found in stories or legends from ancient times, not common in modern language.

Historical Reference

 Much of the Sahara is underlain by an enormous freshwater aquifer. When you go to the basin, sometimes you can see it leaking out. If you were to walk through those palm groves, you could drink fresh water out of your footsteps. But that green lake water? Due to extreme evaporation, it's saltier than seawater and virtually lifeless.
