Productive Garden

TLM foundation invited Sahraen community to transform 40m x 150m unproductive land into productive garden as source of additional income.

Productive garden in Sahraen is named “Niu Kore” which means “asam pendek/short tamarind tree”, with 10 family heads as members (38 people). This garden began to be processed since 2017 by planting red onions, cos lettuce, water spinach, spinach and chili.

All the plants were planted organically making them safe to consume and good to sell. The garden members has already harvested their yields. They now can enjoy organic vegetables, especially red onions. Members have produced 1.350 kg gross of red onion that are ready to sell.

Productive Garden Water Project Procurement

The location of productive garden is 400m lower that water source. So, to irrigate water from source to the garden, TLM foundation and productive garden members use gravitate system. TLM provides pipe (HDPE) and several water tanks in garden area. This system will save operational fee.

Installation steps of pipe and water tanks :

  1. Measuring the distance between spring source and productive garden
  2. Water need volume
