Abstract

Second only to Cairo in terms of population and density, Alexandria is one of Egypt's major cities. It has been one of the major metropolises in the ancient world in terms of culture, intellect, politics, and economy from its founding in the late third century BC. Since the Ptolemaic era, Alexandria's elegant urban environment has always been reflected in the building of gardens and public areas for its citizens. The collection of the garden profiles is divided into two sets. The main one includes historical context, archaeological installations, and a summary of the key features that define this park. The second group consists of a survey of the garden-cultivated plants. Numerous plant species, including trees, shrubs, climbers, palms, and succulents, can be found in the garden. These categories are comprised of 132 species, 103 genera, and 45 families. Due to their old age and consequently low numbers in Alexandria, the plant groups cultivated in the Antoniadis garden have a high value. There are some plant groupings in the garden, but there aren't enough of them there to fill out the groups and restore the area's wonder and splendour. The air pollution tolerance index (APTI) was determined for various plants grown in the garden because it is situated in the middle of Alexandria (Semouha zone), which denotes that it is situated in a region with medium-density traffic
