And so on.
So the the land use under discussion is green, diminutive, and decorative yet inaccessible (or inadvisable) -- green median of a dual carriageway, plantings in a roundabout center -- Do we have a term in our taxonomy for that, either in landuse=* or some other, and if not, what should it be? is that the question ? landuse=* may be the wrong tag. Landuse studies normally talk about larger areas than 14m2 ... see [1] "For example a leisure=park tag may be used to describe a park within a landuse=residential area, or for a very large park may be the primary landuse. " the Landuse [1] page decries landuse=grass because it's a cover not a use, but elsewhere [2] it is documented as the appropriate tag for a roundabout center. So yes we have a tag in use, but there are reasons it may be wrong. If plantings are particularly nice, i suppose it could rise to a leisure=garden, garden:[type,style]=*, access=no but the average roundabout or median has a flower box or a mass of perennials, not anything i or the maintainers of [3] would admit was a garden.
