The aim of the study is to get the relationship between urban environment and plant phenology. The methods monitored the phenology of the environment and garden plants in the main urban area of Chongqing from 2016 to 2019. And it is concluded that artificial light of garden lighting is between 1000 to 4000 Lx in Chongqing, and the application of LED (Light Emitting Diode) is the highest number. At the same time, the flowering period of trees is more susceptible than that of the shrubs; the flowering period of plants is more susceptible than the evergreen plants; and the fruit period of trees is earlier; the flowering period is prolonged. The flowering stage and flowering period of pruning plants are longer than the plants under natural state. This data should prove useful for future research of the subject. Keywords: nightscape lighting, plant phenology, garden plants, environment and phenology Introduction The urban environment has a great impact on plant phenology. Since 1950, the flowering period of urban garden plants has moved 1~3 days ahead in Europe (Menzel, 2002), and from 1902 to 2006, the flowing period for the shrub species in nearly 1/4 of North America also came much earlier (Neil, 2010).
