(road) verge
For the strip between carriageways "central reservation" is more common, but "verge" can be used for both when referring to the vegetation.
"Nature strip" and all sorts of variants seem to be used in the US, Australia etc, but none of them sounds familiar to me.

a grass verge (beside the road)
I think that´s meant here, it´s a relatively narrow strip of grass along the road or in avenues, boulevards.

grass strip
A general term, equivalent to the one provided in Greek, that may refer to a strip either in the middle of the road (separating traffic moving in opposite directions) or at the side of the road.
In the first case you could use the term "grass median" (in US English) to be more precise.

: Yes, but how do we know that it's planted (only) with grass? "Planted strip" could be used if there are other kinds of vegetation.

Indeed, but I don't think that the term "grass strip" implies the absence of other vegetation: "grass strip" comes up with 54,000 results in Google while "planted strip" comes up with 7,000 results...
