screens of vegetation
The purpose of these "quinte" is to hide a view or created a desired optical effect, like the scenery panels on a theatrical stage.
"Vegetali" simply means that the "panels" are in fact plants or trees.

vegetable beds
quinte as in the sense of 'panels', or in the case of horticulture, 'beds'.
Vegetable beds in this case, rather than the more common flowerbeds:

these are not necessarily for food, however - they may be decorative vegetable beds, with varieties of ornamental cabbage, for example
