Abstract: The importance of home gardens in the cities was discussed in many studies. Meanwhile, no previous researches discussing such important topic were made in Jordan. In this study, 383 housewives living in Amman city were given a questionnaire to find out their attitudes toward several topics concerning home gardens. The results revealed that, most of the housewives see presence of home gardens in Amman is highly important. Moreover, the general knowledge of the housewives about home gardens was found of a medium level. Also, the results indicated that, the most serious challenge facing home gardens was lack of land area. Moreover, there were significant differences between the levels of importance of home gardens from the perspective of housewives attributed to qualification, age and work status. The study findings are important for decision makers especially in Municipality of Amman to find means to encourage housewives to establish gardens in their homes.
