There are 51 bushes in the garden. The first row has 16 bushes, the second row has 13 bushes, the third row has 10 bushes, and so on. The number of bushes in each row decreases by 3. So, the fourth row has 7 bushes, the fifth row has 4 bushes, and the sixth row has 1 bush. Therefore, there are 6 rows in the garden.
