Those whitish leaves look as if they've lost chlorophyll during shipping. Best to put the tree in bright indirect light until those leaves recover or are replaced.

Sorry I can't offer more species-specific advice, but I'm not at all familiar with gardenias.

Best of luck, and welcome to the world of bonsai!
