I don’t usually map such small features; there are so many villages, roads and rivers still missing from Indonesia.
But I wonder is leisure=garden is appropriate for “shrubbery” features, since it is also used for front yards and back yards of private homes, according to a recent thread? This would be areas of shrubs which a not a single linear hedge, and could include adjacent grass and trees etc. Personally I would think that these would usually be inside a larger land use, like landuse=residential, unless it is a bunch of shrubs in the middle of a roundabout or at the edge of a motorway. In that case it might be part of the highway land use which is not commonly mapped. It is also possible to use natural=scrub to specify areas of land covered by shrubs - while this is usually found in less managed areas of shrubs, I’ve seen many examples of small patches of scrubs mapped in urban areas in Europe, for example, to map a small triangle of shrubs growing along a road or canal, or between two agricultural fields. So a shrubbery could also be tagged natural=scrub if it isn’t a garden, just like how natural=wood is used for small clumps of trees in urban areas. Joseph A shrubbery!
