The perimeter of the garden is calculated by adding up all four sides of the rectangle. Since opposite sides of a rectangle have equal lengths, we can use the formula 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width of the garden.
In this case, the length is 28 feet and the width is 16 feet. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
2(28) + 2(16) = 56 + 32 = 88
Therefore, the perimeter of the garden is 88 feet.
