That's the part of copied text from wikipedia, that really significantly changed the meaning of leisure=garden page on OSM wiki. Take a look at the history, only few weeks ago the content said something completely different (although it was marked as a stub). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:leisure%3Dgarden&oldid=437641 > You can argue here as much as you like but I know many areas where > residential gardens are already tagged with leisure=garden so there is > not much to do (If you don't want to check all 27550 current uses of > leisure=garden (tagwatch)). Yes, a lot of those areas are here in Czech Republic, that's why I brought this up, because we were discussing it in talk-cz and did not came to any definite conclusion - some think this is an inappropriate usage (like I do), some think it's ok. Anyway, the page of leisure=garden was recently significantly changed not only in the level of detail, but the meaning of this tag seems to be shifted by this added content. In current state I can't see any clear definition/description of what this tag should be used for. As you said there is already a lot of leisure=garden areas, so the clear criteria for its usage should be resolved rather sooner then later, when the number grows even bigger. If anyone is able to give me a clear description of the meaning of this tag (that would include cut grass behind a family house), I'll shut up and use it according to that definition. But right now, all I know is that in last few weeks the OSM wiki page changed its description from quite a clear and narrow meaning to a vague description of general "green" areas.
