In Indonesia, yard or home garden as one of the processed land has not received full attention. One of the roles of the yard is as a “living pharmacy”. Research and inventory of plants grown in the yard of 11 villages in Indonesia recorded no less than 120 plant species were used as medicinal herbs. Some were also used as traditional cosmetics and spices. Zingiberaceae family are the most commonly used and cultivated plants. Information on the results of this ethnobotany research is expected to provide input to improve yard development.
