I agree with all this for not using leisure=garden.

Though I think it would be simpler to just tag them as 
residential=garden, without the landuse tag.
Usually you would have landuse=residential around the whole area, then 
map individual gardens and houses etc within that.

No need to use two tags when one will say just as much.
