Why is it masculine?

Jardins is masculine. The word derives from Old French "jardin," which comes from Frankish "gardo" (an enclosed space or yard). This Germanic loanword was adopted into Old French and retained masculine gender, possibly influenced by Latin masculine nouns like "hortus" that referred to similar spaces. The masculine gender is a historical result of how the Germanic loanword was integrated into French phonology and gender assignment patterns.
