Home gardens at temples

Sunday Buddhist Dhamma school heads of the Kurunegala district launched home gardens at the temple premises on a large scale, following a call by the Government, to face a possible food shortage in the near future. Around 1,870 home gardens will be set up this month in temple premises by Dhamma school heads, teachers and students.
