[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Plant Nursery

[Kenny Moens]

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:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant

Kind regards,

Kenny Moens
