The passive only works against jungle monsters starting at level 11, even then only non-epic ones will not disable the passive. As far as his jungling goes, Garen might not have the best ganks, but the clears are alright I guess. The only time I tried him out in the jungle, I started Red -> golems -> chickens (I don't know their name) -> wolves then I backed.

To be honest, Garen can give the Blue right away to the mid-laner, since the only thing Garen will benefit from that buff is the cooldown reduction, which he can get through Brutalizer/Black Cleaver and Spirit Visage.
