orchard

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

'perhaps a fruit garden' is the definition.
I know that 'fruit' relates to this answer.

'the gate having a variety of beet' is the wordplay.
'the gate' becomes 'or' (or gate is a kind of gate).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a variety of beet' becomes 'chard' (I've seen this before).
'or'+'chard'='ORCHARD'

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orchard that I've seen before include "Location of fruit" , "Fruit grove" , "Land growing 15 across" , "Plantation of fruit trees" , "Small cultivated wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
