Yeosu City Opens First-Come, First-Served Registration for Eco-Friendly Family Gardens for Urban Residents

First-come, First-served 200 Families... Applications Open from the 13th on City Website OK Integrated Reservation Portal

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Yeosu City in Jeonnam announced on the 11th that it is recruiting 200 families on a first-come, first-served basis to participate in the ‘Urban Eco-friendly Family Garden’ where they can experience healing agriculture.

They are recruiting 150 families for the eco-friendly family garden (896-2 Yeocheon-dong, etc.) and 50 families for the organic garden (529 Ansan-dong). By paying only a participation fee of 30,000 KRW, participants can directly cultivate and harvest eco-friendly vegetables.

Applications can be made from 9 a.m. on the 13th through the Yeosu City website OK Integrated Reservation Portal (http://ok.yeosu.go.kr/), and recruitment will close once the first-come, first-served quota is filled.

Family garden participants will complete preliminary education at the Agricultural Technology Center, including garden operation guidelines and cultivation techniques, and from mid-April, they will receive vegetable seeds and seedlings to autonomously cultivate through watering, weeding, and pest control, experiencing the fruits of their harvest.

A city official said, “The family garden receives high annual response as the whole family can plant and nurture various plants, experiencing the preciousness of life and emotional stability.”

He added, “Since there have been cases where gardens were neglected causing inconvenience to neighboring families, we ask families who can consistently manage the garden, such as removing weeds without losing their initial commitment, to apply.”
