I'd like to start mapping botanical gardens but cannot find any information on this.

@ame @openstreetmap Everyone does. As a mapper it's important to work out what is feasible to keep up-to-date. By all means micromap all the detail for a small area to try it out : you soon learn what works personally.

#iNaturalist does provide for mapping cultivated plants, but those records don't get the same attention for verification as others. That is the approach I've used.
