Abstract

A modern man living in a busy society, notoriously struggling with the lack of time and stress, asks himself how important part of his life has he lost, and where is the inner balance? The need to relieve and reduce the stress to which everyone is exposed makes public gardens essential components of a city. Due to their effective flowers, some herbal plants, e.g., Echinacea, common sage, large-leaved mullein, narrow-leaved lavender, marigold, borage, garden nasturtium, or decorative leaves, e.g., peppermint, rosemary, common basil, fennel can be treated as ornamental plants. The article presents the land development project at the Commune Office and the Commune Public Library in Adamów, poviat Łuków, with herbal plants. The research was carried out in two ways — chamber and field works were performed. The project was developed based on the analysis of the existing state and adapted to users' needs, mainly children from nearby schools. The leitmotif of the project was a honeycomb and a reference to the city's coat of arms — a bear. The sensory garden will perform an educational and revalidation function while using herbal plants will enrich the aesthetic value of the area.
