What would be a fitting term for municipal greenery? What I mean is areas ranging from a few square meters to say a 200 m^2, maybe more, shapes varying but certainly planned, with public maintenance, most of the time as decorative separator strips shielding objects from sight or passage, or just to fill up the land. We call that collectively "gemeentegroen" that is "municipal greenery", because the municipality owns the land and and has the flora maintained by the "greenery  service".

Growth varies from just grass (as separator, not as park), large flower beds which are renewed every year, bushes, low trees which no-one would dare to call a forest, and mixtures. Thy might be bushes one year, grass with flowers next year, and cactus-fields next year because the mayor has visited Mexico.
Assume you trying to tag the use of the land?

landuse=flowerbed/garden are both present.
However if the thing changes from time to time it may be best to use a new value ... say landuse=decorative?

If you are trying to tag the land cover then

landcover=grass/flowers/shrubs/*

Note that this tag is poorly represented in the data base so it maybe usefull to dual tag with the misused tag natural=*

In either case you can add sub tag for operator=* .. eg name of council/municipality/shire
