The following passage comes from a Washington Post article:

It was a moment eight months in the making: "Melania Trump bounding down the White House lawn to the vegetable garden made famous by her predecessor."

I can't understand the context of passage.

Is above passage inversion of below passage?

Bounding down the White House lawn to the vegetable garden made Melania Trump famous by her predecessor.

  • No, it was the vegetable garden that had been made famous. Presumably a previous First Lady took a special interest in it.

The vegetable garden was made famous by Michelle Obama

So your inversion is wrong. It might help if you inserted some words, possibly

Melania Trump [was seen] bounding down the White House lawn to the vegetable garden [which had been] made famous by her predecessor [Michelle Obama].
