The purpose of this community service is to increase public understanding about the use of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). The method in this activity is to provide counseling about the types and benefits of family medicinal plants and the provision of medicinal plant seeds to be planted in KWT Ngasem. The result of this activity is an increase in public understanding and interest in the use of TOGA and starting to cultivate it.
