Aims: to assess how Muhammadiyah Elementary School Students' knowledge and FVC were affected by school gardening and nutrition education. Methods: Following 6 months program, knowledge and FVC were assessed by using Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and knowledge questionnaire. Results: 1) There is a significant increase in students' knowledge scores from 43.24 {$\pm$} 14.24 to 70.31 {$\pm$} 18.92 (P-value 0.000). 4); 2) Mean of FCV was elevated from 211.45{$\pm$}12.33 to 289.76{$\pm$}19.64, however, it was not statistically significant (P-Value of 0.058). Conclusion: Although knowledge has been improved following 6 months program, the FVC level was not dramatically enhanced. Future similar activities need to be done in a non-pandemic situation and should be lengthened into more than 6 months to portray a significant increase in FVC.Keywords: Fruit and Vegetable, Health Promotion, Nutrition Education, School.}, url = {http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/id/eprint/29652/}, author = {Fitriani, Anna} }
