Forum:Black Garden Timings - Chain Linking

Okay so this card has been a problem since it came out, and I also understand most people have already figured out the "chain link" to this card.

Black Garden: Field Spell: Magic: Effect-When a monster is summoned except by the effect of black garden halve its attack. You can send this face-up card and all other face-up plant monsters you control to special summon 1 monster from your graveyard equal to the total attack of the monster(s) sent.

So here is my situation. Gladiator Beast Laquari is summoned by another GB monster and has its effect activated. Then Black Garden Comes into play. Now, does GB laquari effect activate BEFORE or AFTER Black Garden comes into effect? Does this start a chain link? Or rather, does Black Garden even start a chain link?
