Help, I am working on Formal Garden designed by Sue Beevers. The pattern
does not quite explain how cut mirror images. any suggestions?

What she is saying is that the upper right corner looks exactly like
the upper left corner but facing the other/opposite direction- as is
the lower right and lower left corners. To make the "mirror image"
you simply rearrange the pieces of fabric to look like the other
corner but the flowers, etc. will be arranged so that the florals
"point" in the opposite direction- or "face" in the opposite
direction. As always.... clear as mud??? VBG If you are fussy
cutting, use a clear template material like Mylar with a permanent
marker like a Sharpie. Place the clear template on the floral or
whatever you are showcasing, and draw the outlines right on the
template so that you can line up the motif in exactly the same
position for each cut. To mirror image the showcased motif, just flip
the template over. Be sure to make it right and wrong sides or it
might get confusing. More mud? LOL

Not quite sure, but maybe those "mirror" image squares are fussy cut.

I didn't see anything in the pattern pages about cutting mirror image
squares, just about sewing mirror image blocks.

Its late at night so it may be me (!) but the only way you can get a
true mirror image is if the fabric is printed with a mirror image. As
the pattern is designed for their own fabric, it may be that that
particular fabric does have a mirror image in the design. However, on
page 2, sewing instructions it says 'The block rotation gives the
appearance of reversed blocks - there is no need to make reversed
blocks', and later it explains that you have to rotate the completed
blocks to give the mirror image

If you note in your mind (and label the block) exactly where it will
go you can fussy cut so like is opposite like. An easy way to fussy cut
so you get the same image each time is, as someone else said, by using a
see-through plastic template.

It looks a fabulous quilt.
