\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Home gardening is the cultivation of small portion of land which may be at the back of the house or within a walking distance from it. It can be mixed cropping of fruits, vegetables and shrubs that can serve as supplementary sources of food and income to the household. Areas of land that tend to be useless around the house, overgrown by weeds or turned to refuse dumb can be an effective means of ensuring household food security and nutrition when properly harnessed. The study therefore assessed gender and generational involvement in home garden activities among household members in South Western Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 120 respondents for the study. Data was collected using structured questionnaire and interview schedule. Descriptive analysis such as frequency count, percentages, mean and standard deviation were used while linear regression was used for inferential analysis. Analyses revealed that most (\mbox{65\,\%}) of the respondents were female, \mbox{90.8\,\%} were married with mean household size of 4.0, mean age was 49.2 and \mbox{95.0\,\%} have one educational certificate or the other. Among home garden activities, land preparation was indicated by \mbox{53.3\,\%} to be done by male adults, planting was indicated by \mbox{50.5\,\%} to be done by female adults while manual weeding was indicated by \mbox{23.3\,\%} to be done by female adults, \mbox{45.0\,\%} indicated male children and \mbox{30.0\,\%} indicated female children.  Also, \mbox{29.3\,\%} indicated male children and \mbox{36.7\,\%} indicated female children usually carry out harvesting of crops. Food security and medicinal purposes were indicated by \mbox{62.5\,\%} and \mbox{53.3\,\%} of the respondents respectively as the benefits derived from home garden activities. Result of the regression analysis showed that gender significantly influences participation in home garden activities. It should be therefore encouraged among household members to in order to attain food security, for effective harnessing available natural resources and for environmental sustainability.}
