A household questionnaire survey was used to collect data about household income and other related characteristics. One hundred and fifty (150) households were selected for the survey based on stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected by interviews at household level. Results of the multiple regression analysis was revealed that the Income From Kandyan Home Gardens (IFKHG) significantly determined by the factors of gender of the householder, main income of the householder, time spent in the home garden, number of crop types in the home garden and expenses derived from the home garden, family size and interest to work in the home garden at 5% significant level. Age of the householder, gender of the respondent, land area, family size, time spent and number of crop types represent the positive relationship with the income from Kandyan home gardens. Education level of the householder, main income of the householder, interest to work in the home garden and expenses derived from the home garden represent the negative relationship with income from Kandyan home gardens.
