If you had a single pole 20A GFCI protected circuit breaker in your panel, feeding one single 20A outlet outside in your garden (about 70 feet from the house), all enclosed in underground PVC conduit with a weatherproof device box, would you have to install a GFCI protected outlet or could you install a regular one?

Would not need to be gfci, but NEC 406.8 does now require it to be rated "weather resistant".

No you do not need a gfci outlet. If you make the mistake of installing one you will have a serious problem with nuisance tripping and the solution is to use only one device not both.

=== if you are worried about it then it is wise to use the GFCI both places == especially in the garden where you are watering the plants and you have wet feet == eliminate possible problems ...

toss that gfci breaker as far as you can and replace it with a regular breaker and put in a gfci outside.

Just use a regular outlet. There's no use in protecting it twice and making it hard to trouble shoot if they both blow.
