I'd prefer keeping landuse values at a minimum, and using subtags

arboretum?

landuse=conservation
conservation=botanical

I'd prefer to avoid a cascade of tags to describe something:

landuse=conservation
conservation=botanical
botanical=arboretum
arboretum=pinetum

beside, that I had to ask leo what conservation means and I'm still not sure. Don't be too generic with tags.

Reading the Wikipedia article about it, an arboretum can be a small part of a (botanical) garden, a special kind of botanical garden or even a large forest that is used to preserve rare trees (and/or bushes).

So tag the main feature that fit's best and add the specifics:

leisure=garden (or landuse=forest or ...)
arboretum=yes (or arboretum=pinetum, ...)
