In accordance with the scientific research work plan, the perspective of using decorative plants in the park area in landscape architecture was monitored. During the observations, it became clear that the area has a colorful landscape diversity. More than 50,000 different types of trees, shrubs and flowers have been planted in the green area of the 4-hectare park. The grouping of various trees, shrubs and grasses according to their decorative features, and the forms of compositions were analyzed in the park area. It was determined that in the creation of landscape designs, rectangular and circular shapes are used in the regular style, and decorative, floral, original shapes are used in the scenic style. A retaining wall has been built in the park to prevent landslides. A special design was given to the retaining wall by covering it with various bushes and vines.
