Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: With the escalating emphasis on healthy lifestyles, the commercial potential of medicinal and edible plants has drawn considerable attention. This paper centers on Gynura bicolor, dissecting its growth traits, nutritional worth, and market demand, while delving into its potential applications in landscape architecture. Through a meticulous assessment of its cultivation techniques and ecological value, the study accentuates the plant's adaptability to diverse environments and its potential contribution to enhancing urban green spaces. The paper puts forward a dual strategy that integrates ecological aesthetics with a commercial model to attain sustainable development, guaranteeing that the utilization of the plant contributes to both ecological balance and economic feasibility. By incorporating the plant’s ecological and aesthetic attributes into landscape design, this approach conforms to the rising demand for natural and sustainable products. The findings provide valuable theoretical insights and practical references for landscape architects, urban planners, and researchers in plant applications, clearing the path for the commercialization and sustainable utilization of medicinal and edible plants in various industries.
