Hello,
Based on the input here, and the description of th natural=tree key,
I've ammended the plant nursery proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant_nursery
Please note that this is not exactly the suggestion made by Sean, but
rather based on the existing way of tagging as used by the natural=tree
tag.
Additionally I've created a new draft which contains the plant proposal
itself, and the involved keys:

Kind regards,
Kenny Moens
