Public Lottery for Village Garden Plot Allocation in Baekryeon Neighborhood Park

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Seokjin Moon) allocated community gardens last week in Baekryeon Neighborhood Park, Hong Eun 2-dong, to provide urban residents with crop cultivation experiences and to promote communication among families and neighbors.

The district has been dividing this 150㎡ garden into 14 plots of about 10.6㎡ each and leasing them free of charge to local residents every two years.

The district recruited applicants from residents of Nonggol in Hong Eun 2-dong and daycare center directors adjacent to the community garden, selecting 9 individuals out of 52 and 5 daycare centers out of 10 through a public lottery.

They will cultivate the garden for the next two years. In particular, individuals will also participate as ‘Gongwon Areumjigi’ (Park Beautifiers), engaging in park weeding and environmental cleanup activities.

Seodaemun-gu Mayor Seokjin Moon stated, “I hope the community garden, which offers the rewarding experience of cultivation and harvest, will be loved as a place for leisure activities and nature education, and be developed into a more beautiful and pleasant space.”
