Pujari's vision mentions that the Black Garden's existence is related to the Traveler's coming to Mars. However, he's careful to point out that "This is not the beginning but it is the reason." The Traveler did not create the Garden, but it's actions may have allowed the Garden to come into existence, because "In these things there is always symmetry." Pujari adds, "The Garden grows in both directions. It grows into tomorrow and yesterday. The red flowers bloom forever. There are gardeners now. They came into the garden in vessels of bronze and they move through the groves in rivers of thought."<ref name = "Pujari"/> The gardeners in question likely refer to the Vex, though the same word is used in a somewhat different context in Ghost Fragment: Mysteries 2, which suggests that the Gardener is a powerful being that may predate the Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Mysteries|Ghost Fragment: Mysteries]]''</ref>

==Accessibility==
The Black Garden is accessible through Mars, but is not part of Mars itself, and seemingly exists in its own separate plane. As a result, the Black Garden is only accessible in specific activities and cannot be visited legally during [[patrol]] mode.
