Web garden is when you have set many worker asp.net on the same machine (for the same web pages), Web farm is when you have many worker asp.net on the same web pages on different machines.

When you use web garder, you need to take care synchronization's on your program especial if you manipulate database.

When you use web farm you need to take care synchronization's of your database and take care about the view state to be the same on all machines.
