+1 If nobody disagrees, I would like to modify the first sentence of the wiki to the following. "A garden is a distinguishable planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature." And the last sentence of the description: "Meant to tag the land area itself, which might be for example fenced or distinguishable by its vegetation." If you do not want to use a new tag for public gardens, those should at least be mentioned at leisure=garden. Now the description seems to be written generally for private gardens. Which could also mean, that it is necessary to add access=yes to the POI, if it should be noticed as such. This would imply some sentences like: "A garden can also be a part of a park and open to the public. This can be indicated by adding access=yes. If there is no clear border of the area, it is recommended to use a node to describe the object." I guess this would be the more accepted solution instead of creating a new tag for gardens dedicated to the public, as parks seem to be at the OSM Wiki.
