Traditional and modern yards’ horticultural flora of Ludbreg Podravina

Changes in the way of life and economy drastically change the use, arrangement and selection of plant taxa in country gardens. Traditional gardens are disappearing and with them valuable taxa of ornamental and useful plants, as well as local names and knowledge about them. The aim of this work is to study the size of the homeyard of the Ludbreg region, and to find out which plant taxa are grown on traditional and modern homeyards. The average size of the studied traditional homesteads is 1820 m2 , and their average built-up rate is 16.22%. They are smaller than the modern ones, whose average size is 2, 646 m2 , and whose average built-up area is 16.80%. On the traditional home gardens, a total of 204 taxa from 72 families were recorded, with the most represented families being Asteraceae and Rosaceae, with 16 taxa each. There are 154 decorative taxa, 33 useful taxa, while 17 taxa are of mixed decorative-utilitarian purpose. A total of 293 taxa from 89 families were identified in the inventory of modern homeyards. The most numerous are the Asteraceae family with 23 taxa and the Rosaceae family with 22 taxa. There are 222 decorative taxa, 41 utilitarian taxa, and 30 decorative- utilitarian taxa.
