Significance of the traditional gardens of Slavonia isn't just in the colours, or shapes or number of plant species, it's most important feature is that with it's humble appearance it helps the preservation of biological diversity and old plant species of flowers, trees, shrubs preferably fruits, vegetables and grapevines. It also enables preservation of traditional architecture of housing in rural landscapes. With regards to a modern way of life and abandoning of the villages, it has become necessary to investigate horticultural history of a particular area to contribute to the preservation of traditions and traditional plant species. Eco-ethno village Stara Kapela is a good example of a „fight“ against oblivion of traditional Slavonian village. Stara Kapela is a small village in borough of Nova Kapela, located in Brod-Posavina County, on the southern part of the Slavonian lowlands in between mountains Psunj, Pozeska and Dilj highlands. The aim of this thesis is to conduct field research and inventory of horticultural flora of the area of Stara Kapela and vicinal villages, to establish which decorative species have been traditionally used in the infields and based on those results, give a valid suggestion of arrangement eco-ethno villages according to the tradition of that area. On 30 infields the total of plant species inventory is 118 species from 59 families, the most represented is family Rosaceae with 13 plant species, which is exactly what matches the tradition of Slavonian village.
