Then it would be good idea to clearly 
communicate this requirement in tags.

official_green_alley?

Because if you introduce green_alley
tag with intention to use it only for
some green alleys then it will be confusing,
and tag will likely change meaning anyway.

See natural=tree originally intended
to be used only for notable trees.

> No, plants are the central aspect of a green alley, but the various "furniture" is worth a mention, since the alley is also a kind of a collective achievement (not sure if the phrasing is good, I mean "oeuvre commune") where citizen fill the space with arts and furniture as they deem relevant. Like a park: a park is also, most of the time, tree-lined, but it can also include some public furniture that are worth mentioning if you try to describe the idea of a park to someone who never saw one.

>>> Hi all,
>>> I'd like to revive an old proposal, namely the ">>> Green alley>>> ".
>>> Description: 
>>> A green alley is a service alley that a group of local residents embellish with vegetation, such as trees, vines and flowers. This collective effort results in a better quality of life for residents in addition to reduce the phenomenon of urban heat islands.
>>>
>>> Cities with a special program can support these renaturalization efforts by providing tools and special materials, or by performing special roadwork such as digging holes for plants and trees.
