The gardening project is a Latter-day Saint District project. 25 families wanted to be involved in the project. Most land in this area around Kampong Thom is either under water or water logged during the rainy season. The first phase was to fill areas around their homes to raise the garden area. The second phase was to furnish chickens. Some families have been very successful and it has raised their self reliance. Some are able to use and sell much of their produce. The District President monitors the program and makes recommendations to participants.
Bring in the soil for a new garden area.
