The influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on the formation and the state of park landscapes of the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden (NBG), NAS of Ukraine was investigated for the first time. The results of basic research are focused on solving application issues of minimizing of the impact of the metropolis and developing of phytomelioration measures of park landscapes preservation. Authors investigated the territorial and quantitative differentiation of man-made pollution. NBG plants environmental risk was assessed by integral indicator. We created 74 component NBG monitoring network to continue observation. We recommend special promising species for phytomelioration in order to reduce levels of soil contamination. In order to eliminate influence of pollution air we propose scheme of insulating protection strips. We have also developed  two landscape-therapeutic routes of calming and tonic action to optimize NBG recreational loading.
