Since you are the active player, you control the order of simultaneous effects. You obviously choose to put the plant token into play first, then process the landfall ability. You would have eight 1/2 plant tokens.

$ªmHεiπ pretty much has this one covered...

One thing I wish to explain though is how exactly this interaction works out...

The golden rule here is "What goes into the stack first, comes out last".

As the land enters play, 2 effects kick off at once. As you are the controller of both these effects, you decide which way they stack up.

To get the best out of the interaction here, you need to place the effect of Avenger of Zendikar onto the stack first, then place the effect of Khalni Garden second. This way, the Khalni Garden 's effect will resolve first, then the effect of Avenger of Zendikar will resolve second, giving all your tokens the +1/+1 counters.

If you stick the Garden as the first effect, then the token it generates will miss the +1/+1 token because the Avenger's effect will have already completed.

Hope this helps to answer your question further.

(P.S: I'm only expanding on the answer for anyone who wanted to know the reasons why... $ªmHεiπ has provided the meat of the answer.)
