Just click on the gate, and a "Lock..." option should come up. Click on that, then you have several options to choose from. I usually pick "lock to everybody but my household" or "lock to everyone but myself". The former will let all your family members in and out of the garden at will, while the latter will only let your currently active sim (the one you have selected when you click on the gate) use it.
