I don't really see what the big deal is, leisure=garden can mean a lot
of different things to a lot of different people, so it needs to be
sub-tagged, and one possible way would be how I suggested:

leisure=garden

then

garden=english_garden|french_garden|japanese_garden|water_garden|horticulture|lawn

you could also expand horticulture to cover things if there is a
predomonite type of gardening occurring, eg

horticulture=flowers|vegetables
