Abstract
Motivated by the rapid urban expansion and the desire to integrate aesthetic design with functional utility in constrained areas, this study explores the transformative potential of decorative vegetable gardens within the peri-urban regions of Iasi.
This study aimed to measure the residents’ awareness, interest, and available resources concerning ornamental vegetable garden concepts.
In this way, we used a detailed questionnaire to gather information on individuals’ existing knowledge, preferences, and aspirations to design an exceptional garden tailored to their needs.
Preliminary findings suggest a promising enthusiasm for these innovative gardening practices, underscoring the importance of tailored educational initiatives.
This research presents invaluable insights for horticulture enthusiasts and professionals alike, paving the way for sustainable urban practices attuned to peri-urban communities’ unique characteristics and needs.
