I agree, the "walls" are only about a foot tall... easy enough to step over. They form more psychological boundaries than physical ones; users are left to their own devices whether to stay within their chosen garden, or to venture into other gardens.
And now, there are so many gardens, including those by independent authors (like myself) which sport no walls at all. The real question here is whether the independents can coax those within the large gardens like Amazon to visit the other gardens from time to time... to recognize the entire space as one huge garden for them to explore at will.
