    union
    select 'abeGarden','test4'
    union
    select 'abeGarden','test5'
    union 
    select 'martinGarden', 'test2'
)

select* from temp
pivot
(
  max(flower)
  for flower in (test1,test2,test3,test4,test5)
) PivotTable

You could also make the values in the in clause dynamic. Since this is a CTE i can't in my example.
