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.
