Sydney Royal Botanic Garden is  tagged as
leisure=garden
garden:type=botanical

Possibly
leisure=garden
garden:type=arboretum??
I think this is the best solution I have - not documented and no actual 
existence in the data base.

Way 21370319 (Nottingham Arboretum) is tagged as
name=Arboretum
leisure=park
this looks wrong to me .. the name may just be a description.

The Australian Canberra arboretum is tagged as
tourist=attraction


A quick look has arboretums tagged as
forest (!), conservation, grass (!), leisure=nature_reserve and probably 
other things.

Will be interesting to see where this goes.

----------------------------
I have mapped some 'local' memorials/monuments ...
including one to a cat (Trim - Matthew Flinders cat), one to the WW1 
Australian horses.
