<p>1. semantics: "cultivated", used in a context of "growing"
applies to the land or in a context referencing the land and crops
or plants grown upon it as a group. It is used in some definitions
across OSM correctly. You came close to a much better and correct
semantic term: manicured, it might be the gem we are all looking
for. It is a common term used in gardening and the shaping of
vegetation in general. Any English dictionary can be referenced to
support this. So I suggest to use "manicured" as the attribute key
instead of "cultivated". Confusion throughout the proposal as you
use "landscaped", "cultivation" and "manicured" in the same
context to refer to the practice and vegetation you are really
targetting: "landscaped" refers to land AND vegetation;
"cultivation" refers to land OR land with it's vegetation in a
grouped context; "manicured" refers to vegetation ONLY. Please
don't mix them.<br></p></div></blockquote><div>I tend to agree with this take as well. I associate "cultivated" with growing crops, while "manicured" sounds to me like decorative plantings and other artificially-created natural displays for aesthetic reasons. In addition, "manicured" is the terminology that we have used to describe parkland tagged with leisure=park. I would expect such parkland might contain shrubbery plantings as a component of "manicured parkland".</div></div></div>
