The role of home gardens as productive green spaces in emerging megacities has so far been neglected when addressing pathways for sustainable urban development. This data article provides quantitative data from a questionnaire survey on gardening practice among home gardeners in Pune, one of the fastest growing cities in India and the Asian-Pacific region. Data include growing decisions and food production, fertilization, treatment of pests or irrigation as well as the cultural and recreational use of the garden. The survey also covered sociodemographic background information on the respondents and their gardening motivations. The data were used for a research article to build indicators for economic, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability dimensions of urban agriculture and analyze gardeners' characteristics that lead to increased sustainability outcomes entitled "Home Gardening Practice in Pune (India), the Role of Communities, Urban Environment and the Contribution to Urban Sustainability"[1]. The data and questionnaire are provided at the Open Research Data repository at the Leibniz-Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Germany (https://doi.org/10.4228/ZALF.DK.109). The data offer an empirical baseline to conduct studies on the interrelationships of gardeners' motivations, gardening practice and the value and outcomes of home gardening in an accelerated urbanization process.
在探讨可持续城市发展途径时，家庭花园作为新兴特大城市中具有生产力的绿色空间所发挥的作用，迄今一直被忽视。本文提供了一份问卷调查的定量数据，该调查针对印度以及亚太地区发展最快的城市之一——浦那的家庭园艺从业者的园艺实践情况。数据包括种植决策与粮食生产、施肥、病虫害防治或灌溉情况，以及花园的文化和娱乐用途。该调查还涵盖了受访者的社会人口背景信息及其园艺动机。这些数据被用于一篇研究论文，以构建城市农业经济、环境和社会文化可持续性维度的指标，并分析那些能带来更高可持续性成果的园艺从业者特征，论文题目为《印度浦那的家庭园艺实践、社区的作用、城市环境及对城市可持续性的贡献》[1]。数据和问卷存于德国莱布尼茨农业景观研究中心（ZALF）的开放研究数据存储库（https://doi.org/10.4228/ZALF.DK.109）。这些数据为在快速城市化进程中开展关于园艺从业者动机、园艺实践以及家庭园艺的价值和成果之间相互关系的研究提供了实证基础。
