Assume you trying to tag the use of the land?
landuse=flowerbed/garden are both present.
However if the thing changes from time to time it may be best to use a
new value ... say landuse=decorative?
If you are trying to tag the land cover then
landcover=grass/flowers/shrubs/*
Note that this tag is poorly represented in the data base so it maybe
usefull to dual tag with the misused tag natural=*
In either case you can add sub tag for operator=* .. eg name of
council/municipality/shire
