Ms. Datukan and Bernadette Fatima R. Puyat, Agriculture Undersecretary for Special Concerns, led the launching of the Vegetable Landscape Project in front of the Agreda familys residence in the city.

Davao Citys government and the municipal government of nearby Polomolok is supporting the activity by providing planting materials to interested residents.

Private companies are also making contributions such as Yellow Bus Line, Inc. which donated old tires for use as plant receptacles.

The gardens here will serve as pilot areas as DA-12 aims to expand the project to the rest of Central Mindanao, also known as the SOCSKSARGEN region. SOCSKSARGEN consists of the provinces of North Cotabato, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and Sarangani, as well as the cities of Tacurong, Kidapawan, General Santos and this city. -- L. O. Pacardo
