The Jungnangcheon Urban Agriculture Experience Learning Center, which operates until November, started in 2013 and is now in its 9th year.
The Dongdaemun-gu Jungnangcheon Urban Agriculture Experience Center covers about 4,500㎡ with 630 plots, each plot approximately 5㎡. Participants plant the provided seedlings and cultivate crops through daily maintenance such as cleaning, watering, and weeding.
On the 2nd, participants were divided into morning and afternoon groups to plant 80 lettuce seedlings per person, provided non-face-to-face, in their individually assigned garden plots. The seedling planting activity will continue until the 4th.
In accordance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, the district disinfects convenience facilities such as shade tents and benches at least once a day, and provides hand sanitizers and spare masks within the experience learning center. To ensure smooth operation, professional management such as plowing, eco-friendly pest control, and crop safety inspections will be supported.
