In America gardens are typically the tilled soil where one grows fruits, herbs, vegetables, and/or flowers. The grass is the lawn. Most houses have lawns, not everyone has the time, knowledge, or interest to have a garden.

I sort of assumed at one point that squid is American, kind of weird that taking care of one specific type of plant is somehow not considered gardening in america

Nah, squid live in the ocean, America is on land. Not sure what that has to do with grass, but whatever, now you know!

Living in Canada. Very few of the gardens in my neighbourhood have grass. It’s not as uncommon as you think.

“I have to go mow the garden.”
– Literally no one.

But lawn mowing would be taking care of the garden if it had grass in it, and would be gardening by extension, that was the crux of the argument.
