I think that part of what he's saying is that he doesn't have any meaningful human contact in his life. Like... he's alienated from his childhood friends and is living in a "private prison." Maybe he's lamenting life choices he's made that have prevented him from having a family, that he's sucessful by some people's standards but he's still family-less. Which explains why the garden's "left for ruin." It's like he has the means to support a family, but he doesn't have a family to put inside his garden. That's what I got out of it at first.
