As I wrote on the Dutch forum, I see at least some leisure=park, leisure=garden, natural=grassfield, natural=water+water=pond on your photos. You loose a lot of information if you map them all with village_green. IMHO, a "village_green" outside the UK is a park, garden or recreation_ground in OSM terminology. it does not apply to the small patches of "green" on the sides of roads or playground. They deserve another tag.
I think every place in the world should ideally belong to - a landuse - a landcover polygon additionally you can add leisure (park, garden, etc) or amenity (pub, playground, etc.) on top of them.
