<![CDATA[The utilization of vacant land in RT.12 has traditionally been dominated by men; therefore, this community service initiative aims to increase the active involvement of housewives in environmental management. The project focuses on utilizing vacant land to establish productive gardens featuring family medicinal plants (TOGA) and vegetables, using repurposed waste materials as planting media. Implementation relied on the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, utilizing teaching sessions and discussions. Educational activities covered the entire process—from land preparation, planting, and maintenance to the recycling of waste items such as used water jugs, bottles, and tires for use as planting containers. The results demonstrate an improvement in the community's understanding and skills regarding the independent creation of medicinal plant and vegetable gardens. This practice has successfully reduced inorganic plastic waste while simultaneously contributing to enhanced food security, economic well-being, and family resilience.]]>
