garden on Wikipedia
A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials. The most common form is known as a residential garden. Western gardens are almost universally based on plants.
The most common form is known as a residential garden, it is a form of garden and is generally found in proximity to a residence, such as the front or back garden. The front garden may be a formal and semi-public space and so subject to the constraints of convention and law. While typically found in the yard of the residence, a garden may also be established on a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in windowboxes, or on a patio. Residential gardens are typically designed at human scale, as they are most often intended for private use. However, the garden of a great house, castle or a large estate may be larger than a public park in a village, and may produce foodstuffs as well.
A garden can have aesthetic, functional, and recreational uses:
- Cooperation with nature
- Observation of nature
- Relaxation
- Growing useful produce
Not to be confused with shop=garden_centre.
Meant to tag the land area itself.

Rendering
As of 2010-10-26, the default openstreetmap.org webpage "Mapnik" rendering makes no distinction between public and private gardens, which sometimes provides some surprising results for whole city districts. How green is your city really? Bug report with linked examples: ticket 3302. In the meantime, it's probably wisest to tag residential gardens with access=private as noted above, if they're not meant to be visited by the public. Surrounding the garden with a separate landuse=residential area is probably a good idea too.
