Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'flower' (a blooming plant part) modifies 'gardening' (the activity of cultivating a garden), so the meaning 'gardening focused on flowers' is immediately derivable from the parts. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common compound/NP modification pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Flower gardening joins flower and gardening to paint a simple picture: planting, watering and trimming flowers in a garden. That's why flower gardening means 'growing and caring for flowering plants, often as a hobby or to make a place look nice'.
