The home garden is a small-scale traditional agricultural ecosystem and is locally known by the name Daaddaa/Emeriyaa in Dawro language and has played an important role in conservation and sustainably utilization of plant biodiversity as well as in adaptation to the changes in climatic conditions of the environment. The information was gathered through semi-structured interview conducted with100 home garden owners. Samples of 100 home gardens (HGs) were considered and data on 214 plant species distributed in 174 genera and 63 families were collected from 300 plots of 5mx10m each. The data were analyzed using SPSS computer software. The procedure for preference ranking and Shannon diversity index were also applied.
