Within the framework of the LBTU Malnava College project "The influence of growing conditions on ornamental plants", a study was conducted, the aim of which was to evaluate the influence of the sky on the growth of ornamental plants and herbs and the phenolic content of mint and lemon balm leaves when grown in an urban garden. According to the obtained results, it was concluded that the differences in phenol content are more significant only for mint and this difference can be influenced not only by the fact that the plants were grown in an urban environment, but also .by many other factors such as climate, fertilization, soil composition, precipitation, etc.
