about the benefits of it on individual, groups and into society. This descriptive and
summarizing its credible sources and information. The findings are also accomplished

general results of my study I realized that urban gardening is an activity that do not

that many grade 11 students have their awareness and background about what is Urban
Gardening is all about. So I conclude that urban gardening is a beneficial activity that
Nowadays some universities, companies and schools are not practicing gardening in urban
and civilize cities. The generation is more focus on academic and their daily works. According to
Myers (2014), urban gardening is used for more than just food security. People find it as a stress
reliever in having green ambience in their environment. It also improves mental, emotional and
social wellbeing of people around it. Being more physically active is also a benefit in managing
an activity such as urban gardening. In simply regularly watering plants, roaming the garden and
taking care of the plants can reduce extra calories in daily and weekly basis. Starting urban
gardening in small empty places is a good way to start improvements in one's lifestyle, mental
This study which is about urban gardening has to understand and analyze the perceptions
of Grade 11 students towards the benefits, reason why urban gardening should be practice and
why it is in to and society and into the modern living as its main objective.
Urban gardening activities do not require big empty places. Having extra spots in your
balcony, windows and roof tops is enough to plant small herbs and flowering plants. In addition
urban gardening is not all about having fresh and relaxing environment it also good sources of
extra fresh vegetables and fruits coming from bearing plants. And the researcher also added that
doing urban gardening do not require good skills with enough creativity and planning is all you
Footer (2016) found that reading books about gardening before starting an urban
gardening can really help you to be a knowledgeable beginner. With enough knowledge and
background one can be a successful and profitable as a farmer. The researcher also added that
people can find easiness when doing urban gardening but it will come if you exert efforts,
practices and hard works. In addition gardeners must learn from their own experiences and push
Carpenter (2011) want to encourage beginners not just sit and read books about urban
gardening but instead seek an expert mentor or famer to teach us the technical practices and
techniques in starting a urban gardening. The researcher also added that one who eat fruits and
vegetables in regular basis should learn to plant a little bit of what one’s eat because the
researcher believe that if everyone starts to plant even just a small plant people can live in a
better place.
Trying to plant in a urban places is not a shameful action one must be proud because it is
not just creating good environment and food for one’s self but to one’s families also. You also
help home to be more livable and relaxing place and you help to reduce the number of people
who buy and depend on markets to get foods and necessities (Simon, et.AL, 2013).
According to Mccrate & Halm (2012), Growing plants is not naturally came to an
individual .Especially in this generation the focus of the people are in sports, social medias and
with a lot of trends in the mass. Everyone must start to encourage their self and find the good
benefits of doing a urban gardening. Not just it gaps one’s from unproductive habits but also give
Gardening inside an urban community is not all about food security. But it also helps the
people around it to reduce their stress levels and also increase physical and emotional well-being
of the people because people find it a good solace. The researcher also added that we can plant
everywhere in a urban places just to have a place to have till a soil. With this enough practice and
Cosep (2019), urban gardening can be done in any forms in the balcony, windows,
alleyways and sidewalks can be a place to plant. The author also added that starting a urban
gardening can be difficult but he said that every expert gardener once kill some plants in the way
of learning so it’s all about how we try and have a lot of patient. One’s patience and time can tell
Urban gardening can be done even in highly populated places thus it is the one that really
need a small or a part of it to have some green plants around it. A small green plant inside a
populated place can have a good impact to people around it and inspire them to the same actions
Understanding the efforts of farmers who plant our foods we take in regular basis and
engage our self in planting habits and activities will help our society and lessen the possibilities
of resources shortage in some bad seasons we experience. The author also added that urban
gardening is not just a mobile food source activity but also in brings the people together when
growing plants in some urban gardens inside a community (The ecology center 2016).
According to Greens Grow sometimes urban agriculture is often confused with urban gardening
but urban gardening is not all about massive production and gaining profit from it. It is about
how one grow plants to lessen the demands of specific vegetables and fruits that one can plant
indoor or in a small places around us. The author also teach the readers to be a wise and good
consumer because one shall learn how hard to grow foods buy and eat.

III. Recommendations
After researching about the impacts of urban gardening in our modern living I would like to
Even the current generation is in a modern society full of high technology gadgets and
activities I recommend to practice urban gardening in their lives because it’s not just an old
fashioned activity but it is such a beneficial and enjoying activity if student will put passion and
time to it. Students can find enjoyment to this kind of activity while improving their social ability
specifically when gardening together in a group such as family, peers and the community.
Urban gardening provides good physical activity which is very good for people who have
free time such as adults and retired workers. It is not just planting to have foods and having
decoration .with simply regular checking and taking care to the plants in daily and weekly basis
it also serve as source of physical exercise. In addition natures movement and patterns like
moving leaves the sound of the nature has very good way to reduce stress and relax.

urban cities and the reason why this is a good trend to the society.
