The Taman Edukasi (Educational Garden) program implemented in Desa Baru, Pulau Rakyat District, Asahan Regency aimed to increase children's interest in religious learning and Qur'an reading ability. This study employed a qualitative approach with action research design, involving 60 elementary school-aged children. The program consisted of afternoon Qur'an teaching sessions, religious socialization in schools, and a children's Islamic festival. Results showed a significant increase in interest in religious learning and Qur'an reading ability, with 80% of children demonstrating improved Qur'an reading skills. The main challenge was maintaining consistency in children's participation. This research highlights the importance of interactive and enjoyable religious education programs in enhancing long-term religious literacy.
