Abstract Native landscaping is gaining recognition as a sustainable and ecologically sound practice that minimizes the environmental impact of traditional ornamental landscaping by integrating local plant species. This study focuses on the identification and documentation of native tree species in the Central Gujarat region, emphasizing their role in sustainable landscaping and biodiversity conservation. The survey was conducted across rural and forested areas of the Kheda, Anand, Ahmedabad, and the Panchmahals. Tree species were identified using the Gujarat State Flora, and ethnobotanical information was collected through community interaction and personal observations. A total of 50 native tree species were documented, with detailed information on their botanical and local names, habitat types, and ecological and utilitarian values. Many species showed significant medicinal, cultural, and ecological importance. The study highlights the potential of these native species to be incorporated into modern landscape planning to enhance biodiversity, reduce dependency on exotic flora, and maintain ecological balance. Ultimately, it contributes to the broader goals of conservation and environmental sustainability by advocating for the integration of native flora in urban and rural landscaping efforts.
