Wikipedia description:
The King's Garden (Hebrew: גן המלך, Gan HaMelekh) is a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Nehemiah 3:15 and 2 Kings 25:4), and associated by biblical archaeologists with the Al-Bustan neighbourhood in the Silwan area of East Jerusalem. Al-Bustan has traditionally been believed to be part of the royal gardens of the Israelite kings, though, according to B'Tselem, "the exact location and nature of the biblical garden are not known and there are no archeological or other findings in al-Bustan to suggest that this is in fact the location."
