Paper is considering possibilities of application of some useful plant species as innovative approach in bioengineering protection of soil and groundwater. The analysis included melliferous, aromatic and medicinal plants that provide effective erosion control and high level crops in agricultural production, i.e. beekeeping. This kind of slope stabilization also bears importance for landscape planning providing new image of degraded areas, revitalization of degraded and eroded mountain areas and revival of their local communities and traditions. Since inappropriate harvest of these plants and intensive farming are endangering land conservation, paper examines new possibilities for embankments and slope designs and conservation and protection of existing natural areas. Species most suitable for application were reviewed on their biological and aesthetic characteristics such as depth and root development, growth rate, sprouting capacity, canopy width and power of water retention, visual characteristics of plants, color and appearance of leaves, flowers and fruits and average yields in production of honey.
