I don't have a precise definition.
This is what I would advance:
+ A walled-garden network is provided by a service-specific internet
service provider (SS/ISP) to a residential or small office.
+ The service-specific connection is in the form of a dedicated WAN link into
the dwelling. (The link may be physical or might be carried by a virtual
layer-2). Some dwellings may have only the service specific connection.
+ The service-specific connection provides access to a service
(IPTV is a known example), and is not general Internet service.
+ The IPv6 service is reachable only using IPv6 from a block that the
service-specific ISP will allocate to the residence using regular
mechanism.
+ The IPv6 service is numbered using globally unique IPv6 addresses,
which are usually not accessible outside of the "garden", i.e. they
are not routed in the global Default-Free Zone.
+ In IPv6, no special DNS tricks are required to make the clients
systems pick the right target address. Multiple AAAA records,
(possibly with walled-garden ACLs on authoritative servers) and
happy eyeballs is enough.
A walled-garden is no different than a multiple ISPs in a residence,
except that general internet traffic does not transit that connection.
