In general, this sentence means when spring comes, the garden is vigorous/blossoming with greenery or something like that.

My question is what does **意** mean? I've looked online and some websites say it's "scenery", but this definition does not exist with the word **意** by itself. Thank you.

意 implies [意境](https://cantoneseplus.com/word/197849) (artistic mood)

**綠意** = a **mood created by the green** (plants) = a green scenery - sceneries create moods. (imagine a field of grass and trees all around you)

Similarly:

**春意** = a **mood created by the spring** = a spring scenery (imagine flowers start to bloom)

**秋意** = a **mood created by the autumn** = a fall scenery (imagine falling red leaves)

> 春天一到，花園裡綠意[**盎然**](https://cantoneseplus.com/word/13282)

> Once Spring arrives, the green scenery is **exuberant** in the garden

Notice:

"色" means "color" and "秋色" (color of Autumn) means "color of Autumn" which implies "Autumn scenery". Although the character 色 itself doesn't contain the meaning of scenery, it is used as a shorthand for 景色(scenery). Just as 意 doesn't contain the meaning of mood, it is used as a shorthand for 意境 (mood)

More study:

In 寒意 (feeling of chill), 意 is short for 意識 (awareness = feel)

In 殺意 (murderous intention), [意](https://cantoneseplus.com/character/614) means "intention" - one of the meanings of this character
