Which is why it would be much more recognizable.
 
To emulate you, which "box" would that be and why think outside of it? What's wrong with sitting down in the box and spending a few hours thinking inside it? :-)

It would be a metaphor for "conventional thinking", so it means "look at things differently" or "consider other alternatives" e.g. this one ;-). because of it being recognizable (see above) one would have less trouble making such associations.

But that was just one example, we should look at more.

I dunno. It doesn't seem all too catchy. If it's an old saying I've never heard of it. And what does it mean, what is it refering to? What's the "walled garden" and why step out of it?

How 'bout "think outside the box"? Catchy, well known and invites one to take a look and not reject it flat out because it's not <insert arbitrary personal reason here>.
