Morphology

garden + project

The meaning 'a planned activity related to gardening' is directly and compositionally derived from 'garden' (the domain) modifying 'project' (a planned piece of work). This noun‑noun compound follows a regular productive pattern in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Garden project creates a simple picture of people planning, digging and planting together in a garden. The word garden is the planted area and project is a 'planned activity', so it means a planned effort to create, care for, or improve a garden.
