Seoul City Recruits Foreign Families Living in Seoul for the 'World Family Garden'

Online Applications Open Until the 20th, Recruiting 20 Foreign Resident Families in Seoul

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 6th that it is recruiting teams online until the 20th to participate in the 'World Family Garden' as part of the '2020 Seoul International Garden Expo.'

The participants are 20 foreign families residing in Seoul (up to 4 members per team), and participation is free of charge. Foreign families wishing to participate can apply through the notice on the Garden Expo website.

This program is conducted through lectures by professional garden designer Oh Kyung-ah, who worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK, and gardener Jung Da-woon, so even beginners in gardening can easily create a garden.

The 20 completed World Family Gardens will be exhibited at Malli-dong Square from May 14, the start of the Garden Expo, until May 20.

Choi Yoon-jong, Director of the Green City Bureau, said, "We hope that the garden scenes filled with the diverse imaginations of foreign families will alleviate the fatigue of citizens exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "Furthermore, we expect this to be an opportunity to inform citizens, who are spending more time with their families, about healthy leisure activities and to promote the normalization of garden culture in daily life."
