Similar to every other raid in Destiny 2, there are two secret chests, which you can find in Garden of Salvation. There is one immediately after the first encounter and another one before the final boss. These hidden chests are your only source of Raid Mods, like Enhanced Relay Defender, which are incredibly powerful, especially in speedruns or low-man challenges.

Moreover, you have to loot both chests once to get the Secret Garden triumph needed for the Enlightened seal. Also, do note that these chests will always drop items that you have already acquired from doing raid encounters. This means you cannot rely on these hidden chests to complete your Collections.
Garden Of Salvation Secret Chests
Garden of Salvation is the second raid to get a perk–pool refresh (including an Origin Trait) across all its weapons. Furthermore, every weapon in the raid is now craftable.
Following the perk-pool refresh, Bungie announced that the
secret chests in the Garden of Salvation raid will drop weapons
as well. If you are not into crafting, this should give you ample chances to find your desired rolls.
Again, remember that
these chests will only drop random-rolls
of the weapons you have already found from the encounters.
Secret Chest 1
After completing the first encounter, where you chase the Consecrated Mind through the Black Garden, jump down into the large hole. Below, you will see the area split into two paths. You need to stay on the left side until you reach a stone platform.
Continue ahead on the large tree root, and you should see an elevator in the distance. Right next to this elevator, you will see a little opening in the wall (on the left), where you will find the secret chest. If you are not confident in jumping directly, hop on the elevator first and then do the jump.
Secret Chest 2
The second hidden chest in Garden of Salvation is after the third encounter. If you are at the Sanctified Mind, you have gone too far, so do not let your fireteam pull you! From the third encounter, follow the path until you reach Boundless Horizon.
A little ahead, you will see a Vex windmill-like structure. You need to jump on a blade, stand at the very edge of it, and travel to the top of the area. Once you are up, you will find yourself in an open space with some statues, trees, and waterfalls. Stay on the right side, continue up the hill, and you will eventually see two openings in a large tree.
This is
not the intended way
to get to the top, but almost everyone uses it because
it is faster
.
Head inside the opening on the left, climb up, and you will see the second hidden chest in the corner.
Open the chest to get your loot, complete the last two Divinity Puzzles, and head to the Sanctified Mind.
