<![CDATA[Instilling knowledge of self-reliant health practices from an early age, particularly at the elementary school level, is essential for fostering healthy lifestyles and promoting the utilization of natural resources available in the local environment. This community service initiative (KKN) aimed to improve the knowledge and practical skills of students at SD Negeri 104308 Sukajadi concerning the utilization of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) as an initial step toward developing health self-reliance. The activities were implemented through educational outreach, hands-on planting of TOGA seedlings, and evaluation of students’ understanding using pre-tests and post-tests. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ knowledge of the types, benefits, uses, and cultivation methods of TOGA. Furthermore, the establishment of a “living pharmacy” within the school environment provided students with direct learning experiences. Through these activities, students not only understood the theoretical aspects of TOGA but also developed practical skills, environmental awareness, and a greater sense of responsibility for maintaining personal health and utilizing local natural resources sustainably. This program also encouraged students to actively participate in caring for the school environment in their daily lives.]]>
