Morphology

hop + garden

The meaning is directly compositional: 'hop' (the plant used in brewing) combined with 'garden' (a plot for cultivation) yields a garden where hops are grown. This noun+noun composition follows regular English compounding patterns and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.

Etymology

Hop garden is the simple name for a field or garden where hop plants climb up poles as they grow. Hops are plants used 'to make beer', so a hop garden is literally the place where ingredients for beer are grown.
