Far m, Gardu Village, Kiarapedes District, Purwakarta Regency. The Islamic boarding school's landscape has 4
hectares of agricultural land planted with various horticultural crops, including fruit and vegetable crops.
Besides elderly boarding school activities, ABM farm is also used as a venue for management meetings, outing
classes, English camps, tahfidz camps, Friday-Saturday camps, and training for students and administrators. One
innovation that can support academic and spiritual activities for users is implementing a healing garden. This
activity aims to share knowledge about healing garden and provide healing garden design suggestions of ABM
farm to administrators, students, and the community so that they can apply them in school gardens and their
respective residential environments. The stages used in this activity are 1) Preparation; 2) Inventory; 3) Analysis
and synthesis; 4) Concept development; 5) Design creation; 6) Implementation; and 7) Dissemination. The
results of the healing garden development is a relaxation garden, a toga garden (family medicinal plants), and
an edible garden, are effective in providing a space for discussion, murojaah, horticultural plant cultivation, and
recreation for students, teaching staff, administrators, and visitors. During the construction of garden and
dissemination, the community was enthusiastic about planting aromatic plants, listening to the material, actively
asking questions, and answering the pre-test and post-test well. The post-test results showed that the lecturer's
return home activity increased the community's knowledge about healing garden.
