The material of the study is the woody plants in the gardens of hospitals in the Tekirdağ. In our study the plant material within the hospital gardens has been identified, the spatial suitability of these plants have been assessed considering their dendrological and ecological characteristics and the problems and solution proposals for these problems have been presented. With this study, the woody plant inventory of the hospital gardens was created and it was aimed to create a model that will be effective in creating the unity in terms of plant design in the hospital gardens and to constitute an example of plant usage for future physical development of the area.Keywords : Urban green areas, hospital garden, Tekirdağ, plant design, Turkey
