[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Shrubbery V2

[Peter Elderson]

I am obviously not a native spear of English, but I think cultivated does not express what you want. MW says:
: raised or grown on a farm or under other controlled conditions
: prepared and used for growing crops
: having or showing good education, taste, and manners
Cultivated seems to be about raising / growing plants and crops, and not so much about keeping shrubs nice and manicured in decorative or protective patches. 

You could argue it falls under "controlled conditions" but I think that refers to what the plants need for growth, like how much light they need or if they need pruning or irrigation, not so much how you shape the bush.

They were all originally planted, for dune stabilisation purposes, but then allowed to grow wild, with self-sown plants also flourishing in there. Occasionally, Council will lop branches that are growing out over the path, or they may go in & pull weeds out, but they're basically left alone.
