outdoor and gardening products
I would suggest using the word "outdoors" either in combination with "garden" or on its own, (e.g. "products for outdoors") because a lot of the products found in the "garden" section of stores like Praktiker, for example, are not necessarily for the garden (e.g. barbecues, cement mixers, etc). "Outdoor and gardening products" is used by the British Praktiker-style store B&Q, for example (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=B&Q"outdoor and gardeni... If the store is less to do with DIY and has more designer furnishings, etc, the phrase "garden accessories" is also used (by Habitat for example http://www.habitat.co.uk/fcp/categorylist/browse/outdoor/out...

Oops! I meant to write "outdoor and garden products" as being more general than "gardening" products. Anyway, I would find out what kind of store it's going to be and take your pick...

This depends on the context. You might prefer to translate the whole phrase as something like this: "sliding glass doors that open on to the store's outdoor garden department." The word "είδη" is one of those that don't translate well one-to-one into English.

Since it says "εξωτερικό χώρο πώλησης" you might try something like "outdoor sales section". It isn't clear what they're actually selling here. Is it gardening tools, garden furniture, plants, what?

Note from asker:
| Couldn't it be something like "garden equipment"? (since "garden section or dept" is in the beginning of the sentence). Thank you |

: Sorry, Ivi, but the phrase "garden products" suggests to me things that are produced by a garden. Yes, I know "garden produce" is more correct, but still ...

Good evening, I've seen it like this. As you say, by "garden produce" I understand things produced in a garden. Perhaps, it is more correct to say "products for the garden" as Danai does.
