There is lots of private backyard micro-mapping going on in the UK, where the whole plot is being mapped as leisure=garden. Example near Birmingham. This interferes badly with reverse geocoding because gardens are still indexed as POIs at the moment.

This excludes all unnamed gardens, assuming they are private and not of much general interest. It also moves leisure=garden, leisure=commons and leisure=nature_reserve in to the "manmade" layer, which means they won't show up by default in reverse geocoding anymore.

These are mostly private gardens and small streches of green
not of interest for a general search.
