ABSTRACT Home yards in urban and/or suburban areas have the potential to be used as a source of healthy food production and even have the opportunity as a source of income for families. Carrying out plant cultivation in the yard of the house is faced with limited space, with these limitations it is necessary to innovate and appropriate technology in order to achieve the expected production. Based on the questionnaires filled by members of the Karang Taruna and PKK Laut Dendang Village, the practice of cultivating plants in the yard of the house with flower types has been carried out and did not choose the types of vegetables, fruit or herbal plants due to the lack of knowledge and skills possessed by the residents. The purpose of this activity is to improve the skills of the Karang Taruna Tunas Muda and PKK Laut Dendang Village in the practice of urban farming to plant leaf vegetables and fruit vegetables by utilizing the potential that exists in the yard of the house. In this activity, several stages were carried out, namely consolidation with Village Apparatus and PKK Activators, socialization of activity targets to participants, filling out questionnaires/questionnaires, counseling, farming practices and evaluation. The results of the activity showed an increase in the knowledge, understanding and interest of participants in cultivating leaf vegetables and fruit vegetables in the yard of the house.
