The questionnaire was a tool used to collect data. Stratified sample was which divided the population into six strata. The first five strata were depending on family income, while the sixth strata was depending on the households in suburban areas.

Most of households showed that the production is used either for family consumption or used as entertainment tool inside household. The educational level affected the care for household gardens.
