This paper highlights medicinal and aromatic herb gardens as a means of real preservation and effective utilization of biologically active substance. As forms of organization we have targeted direct impact on certain segments of the population – rural residents and visitors to these areas, manufacturers of herbal products, personnel from monasteries and pilgrims coming here, environment researchers dealing with the recovery of biologically active substances from green natural resources. We focus on three types of gardens: 1. Medicinal and aromatic plants gardens in the natural environment, 2. Medicinal and aromatic plants gardens around the peasant households, guesthouses and small agroproducers of herbal products, 3. Medicinal and aromatic plants gardens from Romanian monasteries. All these can form databases for research in this area – an objective which The Romanian Society of Ethnopharmacology intends to capitalize by editing The Romanian Traditional Pharmacopeia.
