In the direction of a garden; toward the garden or in a manner directed toward garden-related matters.
Compound of 'garden' and '-wards' (toward), where '-wards' derives from Old English 'weard' meaning 'toward.' This suffix creates directional adverbs like 'homewards,' 'northwards,' and 'forwards.'
The '-wards' suffix creates directional words, and interestingly, American English usually drops the 's' (toward vs. towards). It's one of the few systematic differences between American and British English.
