FAQs about SSc5.2:
I'm confused about the difference between SSc5.1 and SSc5.2. Can I earn them both?
Can roof terraces contribute to SSc5.2?
How should I count planters and vegetation on balconies?
What if my local code has a landscaping requirement? Is this the same as an open space requirement?
Can permeable paving count as hardscape or vegetation towards SSc5.2 calculations?

I would say yes as long as there are no plans to develop that land for anything other than growing grapes. You might have a harder time considering them native/adaptive for the purposes of SSc5.1, but for SSc5.2 you should be fine.
