This might be a double definition.

'bush that gives the garden' is the first definition.
'broom' can be an answer for 'bush' (broom is a kind of bush). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.

'a sweep?' is the second definition.
(I know that sweep can be written as broom)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broom that I've seen before include "one's often fitted in a cupboard" , "Sweeper - shrub" , "Shrub or sweeping brush" , "Leguminous shrub" , "Yellow-flowered shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
