Home gardening provides self sufficiency with fresher garden products at door, promotes self confidence among women for being part of  nature and affords food security for their respective households. The issues of women empowerment through home gardens can be an effective instrument. But there are several challenges in home garden expansion in metro cities.

All ages of women can take home gardening seriously and  inculcate the advantageous to their total family well being.},
