you're welcome ^^ and yeah, it's very easy to take good fortune for granted and change isn't easy, but that doesn't mean thankfulness isn't worth striving for.
as for the garden, i think mae was just referring it to earth, but i associated it with eden from genesis and i generally regard it as an allegory for delusion and the hardship of reality. truth is abundant outside, but happiness is elusive.

One could relate the garden to transactional happiness or the marketplace of our desire.
Outside is our imagination and virtualization of what isn't real or maybe achievable on the present earth through lifes temporal and impermanent processes.
That's my take on it, not to compete with your more literal notion.
It's the knowledge ive gained that has driven me more from lifes simple pleasures and naturalistic flow at the hands of the master.
And God is still literally in control.
