Abstract This study explored the role of urban community gardens in enhancing food security and social cohesion in Danao City, Cebu. Conducted at the City Agriculture Services Office, it utilized a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews and survey questionnaires to gather data from diverse urban residents. The study interviewed the respondents to assess their demographics, interest in urban gardening, sales of harvest, and experiences. The findings revealed that urban gardening was mainly practiced by middle-aged, well-educated women with long-term ties to the city, driven by motivations such as enjoyment of fresh produce and economic savings. The study highlighted the non-commercial benefits of urban gardening, including improved access to fresh food, physical and mental well-being, and strengthened community bonds. These insights suggested that urban gardening was crucial for building resilient food systems and cohesive communities, providing valuable information for urban planning and community development.
Keywords Non-commercial gardening, gardening experience, sustainable food practices
