Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
The increasing rate of people engaging with planting during quarantine
made us curious on why gardening became one of the most popular activities
during quarantine. Among all this, we, the researchers, have observed common
cries of the citizens here in our country are like, “I am so bored; how can I spend
several months quarantined?” “We don’t have enough food and money, now
we’re losing our jobs.” This pandemic has affected thousands of people, not only
physically but also mentally. Fear and anxiety arise along with Covid-19. This
pandemic also sent trauma to some because of what we are witnessing and
experiencing right now. In order to deal with the stress, anxiety, and trauma,
people engage themselves in some activities like online shopping, gardening,
cooking, online selling, and engage themselves on multiple social media
platforms to keep themselves preoccupied from the pandemic.
People on social media are getting really bold with posting everything on
their accounts. Just like some plantitos and plantitas- this term is what you call
people who likes gardening- posting their plants everyday. There was once a
negative news about these so called plantitos and plantitas. A group of these so

SY 2020- 2021
called plantitos and plantitas went out on a hiking and was seen holding different
endangered plants. There were also innovative people who used worn out towels
to make different pots and sold them to people who are interested in buying.
The study will review gardening’s role and impact for some people’s lives.
This study will show the results of a qualitative study on people’s perception on
gardening, which became famous during the quarantine. This study will focus on
people engaging in gardening and will recognize positive impacts of home
gardening towards addressing food insecurity and malnutrition as well as
providing additional benefits such as income and livelihood opportunities for
resource-poor families and delivering a number of ecosystem services. This
study also aims to find the main reasons why home gardens are so famous
during quarantine and if the impact of home gardening is beneficial or not.

INPUT
Statement of the problem
What are the felt benefits of home gardening in terms of:
- Income and/or livelihood
- food security and nutrition; and
- emotional, physical and psychological health.
What plant variety do home gardeners usually have?
To what extent are they willing to spend with this activity?

PROCESS
Reasons why home gardening is beneficial.
Recorded - for food security or food source

Narration - to earn and save money
Analysis of Data -to feel emotionally and psychologically stable and
at the same time physically healthy
Figure 1: Research Paradigm
Based on research some benefits or advantages of gardening (financially or
economically, emotionally, physically, and psychologically).
Gardening can boost your mood. According to a 2012 study published in
Extreme Physiology & Medicine, outdoor activity in a green environment causes
“greater feelings of revitalization and positive engagement.” It counts as

SY 2020- 2021
exercise, according to a study of adults age 60 and older at Karolinska
University Hospital in Stockholm, the level of exercise you get while gardening
and doing housework is associated with lower risks of heart attack and stroke.
Gardening also burns about 272 calories an hour (for a person weighing about
150 pounds), which is more than you’d burn spending the same hour walking at
a moderate pace.
You can sell what you produce, you can sell extra fruits, vegetables and
even flowers from your garden. You can also save money on groceries.
Most common plant varieties planted during the quarantine based on
studies and observations are vegetables, such as eggplants, tomatoes,
malunggay, string beans and pechay. Next plant varieties are snake plants or
any indoor plants. Next are the photos plants, which are popular to those who
like hanging plants indoor. Lastly are the famous monstera plants, which
caused a ruckus during the first half of the quarantine in which the so called-
plantitos and plantitas are competing on who has the biggest monstera plant.
Plant prices in urban areas such as Manila are expensive, based on research
and observations a pot of photos plants ranges from ₱600- ₱2000. Monstera
plants cost not lesser than ₱1,100. A pot of snakeplant costs ₱350 - ₱900.

SY 2020- 2021
We, the researchers, will get answers by conducting an interview to show
that home gardening flourished not just because certain variety of plants, like
succulents, cacti and taro plants are trending and a lot of people keeps buying
these type of plants even at a high price, but because gardening can make
people earn and save money (Haynes,2009), calm, healthy and to avoid
boredom (Wood, 2016).
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to answer the question why home gardening flourished
during the quarantine.
This study seeks answers to the following questions.
1. What are the felt benefits of home gardening in terms of:
a) income and/or livelihood;
b) food security and nutrition; and
c) emotional, physical and psychological health.
2. What plant variety do home gardeners usually have?
3. To what extent are they willing to spend with this activity?
Importance of the Study

SY 2020- 2021
This study is important because it could help people of different ages,
gender and status see the impacts of gardening to one’s lives. Home gardening
can help people out with problems regarding food, money, and job not only
during the quarantine but also after the quarantine.

METHOD AND PROCEDURES
Research Design
This study used narrative inquiry as its research design since the study
seeks to determine the reasons behind the emergence of home gardens during
quarantine. Likewise, this study identified the plant variety common to home
gardeners as well as the extent of their expenditure for this kind of activity.
Sources of Data
This study made use of convenience sampling wherein a target of 5
participants were selected based on availability and willingness to take part. The
respondents came from within our local residence, these participants’ age ranges
from 21-50 years old, they are also women and lastly some of them did not have
a job during the quarantine.
This is a five-month study. This time duration includes research proposal
presentation, data collection and analysis, and research paper presentation.

SY 2020- 2021
Instrumentation and Data Collection
We made use of the interview method to gather the necessary data. The
data were consolidated and analyzed to come up with answers to research
questions and recommendations.
The interview contains three questions and the interviewees are to
narrate their experience and the impact they received when they started
gardening. The narrated answer will aim to answer all the questions formulated
by the group. The answers of each interviewees will be written in verbatim. The
data gathered is interpreted in the form of written work and tables.
Ethical Considerations
We, the researchers, will guarantee that the subjects will not be exposed
to any harm. We will respect the dignity of the research participants. A full
consent from the participants will be obtained prior to the study. Privacy
protection of research participants will be ensured. Any type of misleading
information, as well as representation of primary data findings in a biased way
will be avoided. The confidentiality of data will be assured and the data will not be
kept longer than intended. We, the researchers, will guarantee to take full
responsibilities if any of the considerations are violated.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
Home gardening flourished during the COVID-19 pandemic mainly for
source of food or food security, income, entertainment and for its health
benefits. For food security, the participants have said most of the plants they
plant are food-bearing plants in order to have food during the quarantine. These
gardens provide access to healthy foods for families who have limited food
access or those who cannot afford fresh produced foods, and community
gardeners consume more servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily than non-
gardener (Twiss, 2003).
For income, gardening has become the source of income for some
because the harvested crops were sold. Home gardeners earn from this
livelihood venture by selling it to a nearby market or to their neighbors. Their
products are in demand among buyers because of the ‘naturally grown’ factor
(Twiss, 2003). Likewise, gardening has lessened household expenses since this
has also been a source of food to be consumed.
For entertainment, gardening also serves as a form of hobby. Some of the
participants said they plant in order to have decorations around their house and

SY 2020- 2021
in order for them not to get bored and do something productive during the
quarantine. Similarly, this also helps sustain mental health. Staying at home for
months made some of us depressed and gained unhealthy fats, the participants
stated home gardening made them feel calm during the pandemic. According to
the participants it also serves as an exercise because they move and do a lot of
work. Among the plant varieties that most gardeners plant are fruits and
vegetables. The respondents are willing to spend money as long as equal
benefits are returned.
Conclusion
In conclusion gardening flourished during the COVID-19 pandemic
because of the following:
Food: since vegetables and fruits are the main variety of plant gardeners
plant, it is a good source of food especially during the quarantine since food from
the market are expensive
Income: gardeners can sell their extra vegetables or fruits to people, or
they can sell ornamental plants or other varieties of plants.
Health: eating fresh and home-grown fruits or vegetables will secure your
health, for you know it is healthy and it does not contain pesticides. Gardening
involves physical movements which can make you fit and also immune since you
will get exposed to dirt.

SY 2020- 2021
Entertainment: people found gardening really entertaining since having a
garden with different varieties of plant is really breath-taking and it can beautify
your homes
Recommendations
This research aims to prove why home gardening flourished during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this research are from various people from
certain places only. These findings cannot be generalized by other students from
other universities and other places. The researchers recommend for future
researchers of the same topic to conduct an interview before and after people
started gardening to truly test if gardening made an impact on someone’s
psychological, physical and emotional health. We, the researchers, also want to
recommend adding pictures of the participants’ garden and the things they gave
up since they focused on gardening.
The study needs to be conducted by other students from other universities
and with a larger population or scale to see if there are any similarities or
differences with the factors why home gardening flourished during the COVID-19
pandemic.
