This study looked at the experiences of various stakeholders in starting and maintaining home and school gardens as well as their contributions to social entrepreneurship and community sustainability. Examining how these gardens foster cooperation, economic opportunity, environmental awareness, and sustainable community development was the aim. The study sought to highlight the value of group efforts and shared accountability in promoting long-term ecological balance and social progress, adhering to the tenets of participatory and environmental education. This study focused on the lived experiences of people actively involved in school and home gardening projects using a phenomenological qualitative approach.

The researcher was able to understand deep meanings, insights, and shared understandings about the sustainability and community gardening phenomena thanks to the method. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were held with 15 stakeholders, including 5 teachers, 5 parents, and 5 community members, to obtain in-depth information about their experiences with the implementation and outcomes of school and home gardens as social enterprise hubs for sustainable development.

The findings demonstrated that home and school gardens serve as platforms for environmental preservation, education, teamwork, and revenue generation in addition to being agricultural endeavors. Ideas like Luntiang Kinabukasan (Vision for a Green Future), Bunga ng Kooperasyon (Fruits of Cooperation), and Pagyabong ng Sama-samang Lakas (Growth Through Collective Effort) emphasized how these gardens foster social cohesion, environmental responsibility, and discipline. Despite obstacles like a lack of funds, time, and resources, stakeholders' combined commitment ensured continuous advancement. According to the research, gardens are essential to sustainable development because they promote environmental values, self-reliance, and stronger community ties. In order to preserve and improve gardening projects as illustrations of social enterprise and community sustainability, it suggests continued government support, youth involvement, and the incorporation of policies.
