It also aimed to convey the message "Living in the Garden," the theme of the upcoming 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo, which is designed as an expo with full citizen participation, and to wish for the successful hosting of the expo.

A citizen who received a tulip bulb said, "Although it is just a root without flowers yet, I feel more excited and expectant than receiving flowers," adding, "Taking this tulip gift as an opportunity, I will plant and nurture it beautifully like a true citizen of the garden city Suncheon to cultivate 'my own garden.'"

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon stated, "Next year, I hope that tulip bulbs in every household will bloom into beautiful flowers bringing us good fortune, and that in everyday life after the end of COVID-19, everyone can cultivate and enjoy their own gardens."

Meanwhile, the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo will be held for six months from April 22 to October 22, 2023, centered around Suncheonman National Garden and Dongcheon, planning to host an expo together with the citizens.
