Currently garden on wiki at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgarden <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgarden> is described as
not just any place where plants grow but as requiring it at least planned.

Despite that people frequently use it for areas that include nothing more
than standard lawns (like at 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tiny_homes_-_Davey_Crescent_-_geograph.org.uk_-_755400.jpg <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tiny_homes_-_Davey_Crescent_-_geograph.org.uk_-_755400.jpg>
) or areas overgrown with random plants (

or

) and generally places that does not indicate that there was any attempt
to create "distinguishable planned space, usually outdoors, set aside 
for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms 
of nature" (like 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tiny-house-005.JPG <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tiny-house-005.JPG>
).

Due to popularity of this kind of tagging I will edit
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgarden <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgarden>
to mention that such areas do not qualify for leisure=garden 
(I am posting also here to make sure that my edit will be verified).
