From reading the description - yes the whole thing is a “garden” - because it 
is cultivated and prepared for enjoyment. I’ll agree to that. maybe a 
garden=flower_field is a good subtag for the whole thing. 

But just as hedge, grass, or tree is part of a larger park or garden, so are 
these individual fields part of the larger spectacle (the hill set is a named 
thing in the park). There are several sections of fields I would like to tag 
individually and name the whole hill set a garden. Just having the garden tag 
gives no indication that it is a flower field spectacle.  a field I want to tag:

A farm may have several fields of farmland that make up the whole farm, and 
here there are several fields that make up this big spectacle that can be 
called a garden. 

There are several other types of plant based tourist attractions that are 
man-made, but are a part of a larger thing. They are tourist attractions, some 
stand alone, like the flower fields in Carlsbad (planted for decoration, 
usually visible from the freeway meant to invoke holland), or rice art here in 
Asia, and some are smaller parts of larger facilities (these fields, or 
individual fields in a large flower field garden).

They sell flowers in their garden center, they have a parking lot and shop, a 
snack stand and walking paths & access roads. That entire thing is the “garden” 
- how do I tag the individual fields? 

here is a news story on the fields planted every year to make an image as a 
tourist attraction in Japan. This one is a permanent attraction (the art is 
there every year.

You reminded me that every September, my city has a horseback archery 
competition at a special spot near a park. The backdrop is fields of sunflowers 
they grow for people to take pictures in. They put a little raised platform up 
for viewing, and have a little festival for the flower viewing. In this case, 
it is not a farm field, but something greater. 


The fields themselves are a thing.  I want to tag that thing. it is not a crop. 
And then I want to tag many of them inside a larger thing called a park/garden. 

we have a method to tag trees or groups of trees in a park that are grown for 
artistic purposes (not food):

<https://www.flickr.com/photos/javbw/11091195995/in/album-72157638113676925/> 

but not for non-tree non-hege “man-made” things AFAIK

The Hitachinaka park has other fields of 50,000 daffodils that bloom in the 
spring - I want to say “this area is the actual field that is full of flowers / 
decorative plants grown for artistic/asthetic purposes” that is inside a larger 
garden/park. 

If I was tagging the large fields in a garden, it would end up with gardens 
nested inside gardens. These aren’t crop fields (well the rice is, but the art 
isn’t), and not hedges, nor orchards, so is there some kind of tag for a field 
that is man-made that is full of flowers as an artistic/natural spectacle? If 
not, I would like suggestions on what to create/tag it as such.  

Just having landcover=flowers might do the trick. it would work well to fill in 
all kinds of places where flowers are usually kept (like at the Rose park I 
stopped tagging after running into this issue last year) - tagging the 
individual sections of parking, walkways, grass, woods, hedges, bike paths, and 
greenhouses is easy - but the actual flowers? seems to be difficult.
