Lavender (Lavandula spp.): With its characteristic aroma and drought resistance, lavender adds color and fragrance to the park.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): A versatile plant used for both ornamental and culinary purposes, providing aromatic and green accents.
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris): A low-growing, aromatic plant ideal for ground cover and attracting pollinators.
Myrtle (Myrtus communis): An evergreen shrub with aromatic flowers and leaves, suitable for low-height zones.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): A small, flowering plant used for its flowers and medicinal properties.
Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens): Contributes to creating barriers and offers height and structure to the park space.
