Abstract :
Non-native plants can alter native plant
populations in parks and may stimulate asymmetric
spread and the emergence of invasive species. To manage
invasive plants in urban gardens and to encourage
sustainable growth, Lavandula dentata (LD) was used in
the experiment. The experimental design was carried out
in four urban parks using a randomized model, and the
results were compared. 80 plant seedlings were used in
an afforestation experiment in urban gardens with a 4 *
1 design, where 1 stand for the metric measurements of
the plant (length), and Figure 4 shows the planting sites
(P1, P2, P3, P4). The results show that the use of native
plants in urban gardens (UP) has the potential to reduce
the presence of invasive species and improve natural
resource use efficiency and biodiversity. The plant used
in the afforestation experiment had several visible
effects, but an increase in germination rate and ability to
flower after only 32 weeks of cultivation. Plant height
increased due to morphological results. When the right
environmental conditions are present, the plant can also
grow and develop on its own after the seed lands on the
ground. Finally, useful information about growth (LD)
in urban gardens was revealed by the current study.
