Answer

$11$ boot lengths

Steps

Step 1 ：Convert the width of the garden from meters to centimeters: $3.5 m \times 100 = 350 cm$

Step 2 ：Divide the width of the garden in centimeters by the length of the boot: $\frac{350 cm}{32 cm} = 10.9375$

Step 3 ：Round the result to the nearest whole number: $\approx 11$

Step 4 ： $11$ boot lengths
