leafy

Non-PRO English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Hello,

The context is: "the leafy main square"
It refers to the Plaza of Santa Fe.

As I have never been to Santa Fe, could anyone explain weather 'leafy' means:

a. Covered with or having leaves.
b. Similar to or resembling a leaf.
c. Other

TIA :)
