Martin, did you see the pictures I have added to the wiki? [1]

What we need is a tag that describes the situations visible on those pictures, but we do not have to be very specific about what is growing on those spots. This is also highly country dependent as cactuses possibly are not very likely to appear in the steets of Reykyavik but more so in Havanna.

For me landcover=urban_green (maybe: urban_vegetation) is a perfect fit for what we need.

From what I understood, we are trying to avoid “village_green” because it is only relevant to UK legal situations, making it unsuitable for use outside of the UK.
I don’t care what is growing on the spots we are talking about, and I repeat what I wrote before:
1. If it is grass: tag it as grass
2. if it is a tree: tag it as a tree
3. if it is a hedge: tag it as a hedge
4. if it is a park: tag it as a park
5. if it is a flowerbed: tag it as a flowerbed
and I now add:
6. if it is a garden: tag it as a garden

And only in the situation that we have:
"all kinds of mixed vegetation (plants, bushes, flowers, small trees, grass), mostly in urban areas, very often maintained by the Municipality. "
we tag it with village_green.
The “we” in the quote above is the Dutch community.
And if you would like to use urban_green instead of village_green, I fully agree with that.

One year ago I started the discussion about the use of “village_green" [2], do we need another year?

Marc.
