Sustainable Landscaping and Biodiversity

A park should be designed to promote ecological sustainability and biodiversity. This includes planting native species, fostering wildlife habitats, and using environmentally friendly landscaping techniques — while also taking into account the impact of certain plants on people with allergies or sensitivities.

  • Use native plant species that thrive in the local environment and help attract local wildlife.

  • Incorporate elements like ponds, wetlands, and meadows to support diverse ecosystems.

  • Apply sustainable landscaping techniques to conserve water, support soil health, and encourage natural regeneration.

  • Choose a wide variety of native species with different flowering times, fruiting periods, and forms to increase ecological richness and avoid massive pollination at once.

  • Avoid highly allergenic species and consider hypoallergenic alternatives when possible.

  • Correctly select and maintain the planting substrate to ensure healthy plant growth.

  • Locate bushy or dense vegetation in areas that won’t interfere with visibility, airflow, or accessibility.
