Abstract:
Home gardening, also known as backyard or kitchen gardening, is one of the main types of urban and pen-urban farming. It includes various ways of growing crops, in backyards, balconies, vacant spaces or any kind of small garden. Home gardening provides a number of benefits to those who practice it. Apart from providing nutrition and fresh foodstuffs to homes, it has the potential to create employment and it enables utilization of items and small backyard spaces that would otherwise be considered as useless.
