On a symbolical plane:

Recurrent term 'garden' in the chapter and the description of Ithilien made curious connection - that is how Eden might have looked like after the Fall - still retaining remnants of its former beauty, yet already poisoned and on the road to decay.

I may be reading to deep into the book, of course.
