Abstract :With the development of thematic parks, the garden culture, in which people turn to nature and where they can get rid of their daily stress and provide mental and physical relaxation, has shown itself as healing gardens. These gardens, which were used for the rehabilitation of patients in church or hospital gardens, have now become areas where people\`s mental fatigue is relieved in urban areas, and they have become more functional with the use of medicinal and aromatic plants. From this point of view, within the scope of the study, a healing garden was designed with the use of medicinal and aromatic plants that grow naturally in Isparta province. The area, with a total area of 2.21 ha, located on 275th street within the borders of Çünur neighborhood was determined for the design of the healing garden. Thirty-five medicinal and aromatic plants that grow naturally in Isparta are included in this land. As a result of the study, a design that takes its theme from natural elements was realized, and the use of areas suitable for healing gardens has been suggested.
