A garden and a gazebo

[Rachel Adams]

I wrote this sentence below but I think it should be changed into sentences #1 and #2.

"There are a garden and and a bamboo grove on the territory."

1. "There's a garden and a bamboo grove on the territory."

2. " There is a garden and a bamboo grove on the territory."

If I am not mistaken "There are" followed by a singular noun isn't wrong either. As in 3. "There are a garden and a gazebo on the territory."

Native speakers would generally use "There's". Don't use "There is".

What do you mean by "territory" there? Do you mean on a specific piece of land?

Yes, that's what I mean. Is the sentence #3 also correct?

Yes, that's what I mean. Is [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] sentence #3 also correct?

"There are" isn't wrong, given that there are two things on the land. However, the majority of native speakers would use "There's".
