Try:

   (:if name Notes.GardenFence:)HERE WE ARE!(:ifend:)

This will work even for an included page, as the "name" and 
"group" conditionals always check the currently displayed page, 
as opposed to the page that the markup appears in.

What you gave above would work except that compound conditionals
(i.e., "and"/"or") require brackets or the "expr" prefix:

  (:if expr group Notes and name GardenFence:)HERE WE ARE!(:ifend:)
  (:if [ group Notes and name GardenFence ] :)HERE WE ARE!(:ifend:)

But the single (:if name Notes.GardenFence:) is simpler.  :-)
