Morphology

healthy + garden + ecosystem

The overall meaning is directly derivable from the parts: 'healthy' (in good condition) modifies 'ecosystem' (interacting organisms and environment) and 'garden' specifies the location, yielding a well-functioning ecological community in a garden. This compositional modifier + noun + noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will understand the phrase.

Etymology

Healthy garden ecosystem paints a picture of a small living community in a garden where soil, plants, insects, and birds all do jobs for each other. When these parts work well together the garden is 'balanced' and 'helps plants grow and useful animals live there', so the phrase means a place where everything supports plant growth and helpful creatures.
