Planting Autumn Annual Flowers in Baramdang, Seongbukcheon, and Street Greenbelts in Seongbuk-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) planted flowers (Garden mums, Aster, Salvia, etc., 17 species totaling 28,000 plants) in high-traffic areas such as the Wind Yard in front of Seongbuk-gu Office, Seongbukcheon Stream, and around Hansung University Station to welcome the autumn season.

Notably, the Wind Yard in front of the district office building was newly renovated as the ‘Wind · Flower · Garden.’

The ‘Wind · Flower · Garden’ is a flower bed created by the district office directly with residents in a 50㎡ space in the Wind Yard, wishing for a quick recovery and revitalization of the socially depressed atmosphere caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in spring.

The ‘Wind · Flower · Garden’ has become a ‘hot place’ in Seongbuk-gu with colorful and fresh flowers and plants. Swing chairs and wooden benches were additionally placed so that residents visiting the flower bed can sit and rest while enjoying the garden.

Many residents, including couples taking photos with the vibrant flowers at the photo zone in the center and elderly people going out to appreciate the garden, visit the flower bed and it is receiving much love from the community.

Additionally, Seongbuk-gu installed railing hanging flower pots at nine locations including Dongsomun-ro bus central lanes, Bomun Bridge, and Seokgye Bridge to refresh the atmosphere tired from the impact of COVID-19 and create a lively street. The hanging pots are planted with red, pink, and purple wave petunias and pelargoniums, providing a bright sight during commuting hours.

Welcoming autumn, Seongbuk-gu also planted various chrysanthemums (cushion mums), asters, salvia, and other representative autumn flowers along the Seongbukcheon Stream walking trail.

Seongbukcheon Stream offers a small moment of relaxation to city dwellers tired from busy daily life in the urban area. Visitors to Seongbukcheon say in unison, “Listening carefully to the quietly flowing stream sounds and walking while viewing the planted flowers makes the mind much more relaxed.”

In fact, walking along the streamside trail is known to have health healing effects such as boosting the immune system (increasing NK cells), reducing stress (decreasing cortisol hormone, increasing alpha waves), alleviating atopic symptoms, and regulating blood pressure.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “I hope residents exhausted from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic regain vitality by seeing the flowers,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to make Seongbuk-gu a place where flowers bloom.”
