Leafy Recess is a term used to describe a shaded, secluded area in a garden or park. The two crossword solutions, BOWER and ARBOR, are both five-letter words that refer to structures found in such areas. A BOWER is an arched structure made of vines, branches, or other plants, while an ARBOR is a latticed framework covered with climbing plants. Both provide a leafy recess for people to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
