Creation of 250 Ecological Garden Plots on Approximately 3,000㎡ Riverside Area at Anyangcheon Doksan 1-dong Branch Section... March 29-April 2, One Plot per Household for Geumcheon Residents

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) is creating a weekend farmer ecological experience learning center at Anyangcheon and leasing ecological gardens to residents.

The district has additionally established a weekend farmer ecological experience learning center of about 3,000㎡ on the riverside area of the Anyangcheon Doksan 1-dong branch section (Doksan pedestrian bridge to Anyangcheon crosswalk bridge) to solve the shortage of supply caused by creating a camping farm at the existing Geumcheon eco-friendly weekend farm operated in Haan-dong, Gwangmyeong-si.

The district is creating 250 ecological garden plots at the weekend farmer ecological experience learning center and leasing one plot (10㎡) per household to Geumcheon-gu residents.

The leasing fee is 30,000 KRW per plot annually.

Applications for leasing will be accepted online through the integrated reservation service on the Geumcheon-gu website from March 29 to April 2. In-person applications are also possible at the Parks and Greenery Division on the 11th floor of Geumcheon-gu Office.

Lessee selection will be made by a public lottery on April 8, and the results will be posted on the district website and individually notified.

The weekend farmer ecological experience learning center will open on April 17 and operate until November 30, when crops are harvested.

Meanwhile, the district has created a total of 130 ecological garden plots at the existing weekend farm: 50 educational garden plots, 50 camping experience garden plots, and 30 healing garden plots at the health center.

The 50 educational garden plots will be leased one or two plots each to educational institutions such as daycare centers and schools.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “I hope families will create joyful memories by sharing the pleasure of cultivating and harvesting crops together at the ‘Weekend Farmer Ecological Experience Learning Center.’”
