Garen is a very versatile champion, with many different ways to play and build him, so giving you exact hard counters isn't realy an option.

Currently, Garen counters the meta that was designed to counter the meta. It's pretty funny. He's pretty awesome right now in the right hands.

You won't be shutting down Garen in lane without a lot of ranged harass and help from your jungler. If I had to give Garen a counter, I would say it would be Kayle. But she is not a hard counter. Another would be Mundo. Mundo can potentially out-sustain Garen post-level 6. Mundo's ultimate will help cancel out Garen's bursty harass. Also, build armor.
