garden gate

Backyard boundary door

A garden gate is a gate providing entry to a garden, typically smaller and more decorative than farm or field gates.

The phrase appears in Cockney rhyming slang for "late": He's always garden gate for work.

In this usage, only "garden" may be spoken, with "gate" implied.
