This study aims to evaluate the aesthetics of several vegetation configurations in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. The study used a descriptive method by distributing questionnaires to the visitors. Four vegetation configurations were evaluated aesthetically based on visitor perception, namely linear, stratified, dense, and bushy vegetation configurations. Strata configuration is the most aesthetic and preferred vegetation configuration by visitors, and the lowest quality is dense configuration. The highest scoring score of the vegetation stands had the appearance of tall, large and neat tree stands, and regularly lined up on the edges. The lowest scoring score was achieved in tree stands which gave the impression of being dark and irregular.
