What does the garden mean spiritually?

It is an archetypal image of the soul, of innocence, of happiness; it is a place for growth of the inner Self.
It is a symbol of consciousness because of its order and enclosed characteristics, as opposed to the unconscious FOREST.
Yet it also represents fertility and is usually considered feminine. ~source~.


Gate

The gate is an entryway into an unknown place, or a place of great significance; it is a threshold, and may connect the living and the dead.
They are normally guarded by symbolic animals: the LION, DRAGON, BULL, and DOG are often depicted in conjunction with the gate.
In many cultures, passing through a gateway signifies a right of passage.



Gold

Gold is illuminating, sacred, durable; it is precious. It is almost universally associated with the SUN, or the highest stage in spiritual development.
