Thanks everyone for your thoughts re arboretums Why I brought this up - had a look at the historic=monument tag yesterday morning, which lead me to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CheckTheMonuments & http://www.historic.place/themes/monuments/map.html.
That showed 4 monuments in my general area, 2 of which should apparently be memorials, 1 I'm not sure about & this one: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-28.00759/153.38376. The "Regional Arboretum" is shown as a monument &, by the conversations here, almost certainly shouldn't be (maybe it should be a Memorial? - will have to get up there & check it out on the ground); while the "ADF Grove" is, almost certainly correctly, a Memorial. Now, if the Regional Arboretum isn't actually marked as being a memorial to anybody / thing, & therefore not a memorial, how should it then appear in OSM? The Botanic Gardens as a whole are shown as landuse=recreation_ground; leisure=park. From a Google satellite shot https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-28.0070891,153.3834806,174m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en, the Regional Arboretum is only an open group of trees, so how should it be mapped? It's definitely not intended for forestry / logging purposes, so it's not landuse=forest It's hardly a forest, so not natural=wood Doesn't produce anything so not landuse=orchard Leisure=garden? Garden brings to mind flowers & bushes, not trees, but I guess it may still apply?

Thanks Graeme
