| Summary: | The vegetation in urban areas plays several important roles. Our objective with this manuscript is not to talk about urban ecology but rather to discuss the role that cities can play in biodiversity conservation through the concept of seed-based landscaping. Biodiversity conservation by studying the reintroduction of spontaneous species in urban landscaping projects promotes a more sustainable use and management of local ornamental species. In this paper we will discuss the principles of the ’seedling landscape’ concept and its benefits in biodiversity conservation. Our findings suggest that incorporating the notion of urban ecosystem services can have a crucial impact on restoring the connection between cities and the natural environment. This approach can effectively decrease the ecological impact and environmental burden of urban areas, while simultaneously promoting resilience, well-being, and the overall quality of life for city dwellers.
