mappers want a way to tag small areas of bushes and shrubs, and not<br>
everyone is happy about using natural=scrub for this case.<br>
<br>
Currently there is a tag landuse=grass for small areas of managed<br>
grass, but this might be considered to exclude other non-woody herbs.<br>
And leisure=garden is usually considered the whole area of a garden,<br>
rather than being limited to a certain type of vegetation.<br>
<br>
I would suggest that we need a more developed system of tags for<br>
micro-mapping small areas of plants, not just woody-stemmed bushes and<br>
shrubs, but also semi-annuals, herbaceous perenials (e.g. in the<br>
tropics) and annual flowers and herbs.<br>
<br>
This would also help with problems like using village_green for all<br>
sorts of areas: see discussions and examples in<br>

<br>
Rather than just discussing how the tag small areas of bushes or<br>
hedges, how about how to tag this area of flowers:<br>

<br>
Are people micro-mapping areas such as these?<br>
<br>
How specific should the tagging be?<br>
