The garden may be anywhere, and personally, I think that's kind of the point - the authors intent (or the will of the audience..or both). A standin for -x- wherein x is kind of up to you. To use starwars...

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
