Morphology
The meaning 'a small cart used in gardens' is directly and compositionally derived from 'garden' (place for cultivating plants) + 'cart' (wheeled vehicle for transporting goods). This simple noun–noun compound follows common compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Garden cart is a plain, literal name: a small cart you push around a garden to carry 'tools', 'plants', or soil. So, because people used the image of a cart full of pots and soil to move heavy things, the term now means 'a small wheeled cart used for garden work'.
