I believe the answer is:

sprout

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the garden' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'come out to get something' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'come out' could be 'out' (synonyms) and 'out' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
