Shoot, in the garden, for falsifying coins? (5)

I believe the answer is:

scion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shoot in the garden' is the definition.
'scion' can be an answer for 'shoot' (both can mean a descendant of a family). I am not sure about the 'in the garden' bit.

'falsifying coins?' is the wordplay.
'falsifying' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coins' anagrammed gives 'SCION'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scion that I've seen before include "Young family member" , "Offspring" , "Younger member of a family" , "Descendant - heir" , "Young shoot/twig" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
