Gardens at Blocks of Flats as Personal Spaces of Biodiversity in the Urban Landscape

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Gardens at blocks of flats are small spaces covered with ornamental vegetation, established and maintained by the residents of housing estates. Species composition of these spaces is very abundant, since in the studied housing estates in Lublin, Biała Podlaska, and Krosno, 214 plant taxa were identified. However, vast majority of the plants are of non-native origin. Only 14% are native species. Studies have shown that gardens at blocks of flats are often personal spaces in character, influencing the quality of life of the citizens.
