English term or phrase: Garden Island
Garden Island is not the real name of, but a nickname for a few islands around the world, because the island has lush vegetation, and lots of flowers. Such islands are Kauai in Hawaii, Huahine Island in Tahiti, Taveuni Island in Fiji, Jersey among the Channel Islands. I have two questions:
1. How would you translate this island nickname into Hindi?
2. Is there any island in Indian territory (even in a lake) that has the nickname (in Hindi of course) Garden Island?

Thank you.

garden island
Upvan TApoo OR UdyAn TApoo उपवन टापू OR उद्यान टापू


Explanation:
Answer No.1

A garden comprises of lush greenery and different types of trees and plants of flowers and it is known as Upvan or UdyAn in Hindi and I think that the Garden Island may be translated as Upvan TApoo OR UdyAn TApoo उपवन टापू OR उद्यान टापू in Hindi.

Answer No.2

In so far as your second question is concerned, we don't have any island which is nicknamed as Garden Island. Instead, we have got Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Hope this helps.

Island is also known as Dwiip (द्वीप) in Hindi. So, you may also consider translating it as Upwan Dwiip/UdyAn Dwiip (उपवन द्वीप /उद्यान द्वीप).
