[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University’s ‘Growing Companion Plants’ program is receiving positive responses from participants.

On the 22nd, the university announced that it held the companion plant program in the outdoor yard of the Character Plus Center practice room within the missionary village on campus.

The program involved 36 enrolled students living in the university dormitories, who directly planted fragrant roses and fragrant dianthus in pots and adopted them as their own companion plants.

In particular, the participating students are expected to gain healing through companion plants in their daily lives exhausted by COVID-19 by writing their impressions of the plant growth process and keeping observation journals.

On this day, the program was planned by the Character Plus Center in connection with the talent donation of Kang Eun-mi, CEO of Si-hwa來 Flower School.

The university also operated a companion plant growing program for faculty and staff in the front yard of the Jeong Seong-gyun Missionary Hall. This program was conducted by having faculty and staff bring their pots and participate in repotting and planting companion plants with the help of volunteer gardeners.

The volunteer gardeners who participated in the volunteer work were faculty and staff members with expertise in plant cultivation.

The ‘Growing Companion Plants’ program is scheduled to continue weekly starting from this day.

Han Cheol, head of the Character Plus Center, said, “I hope that the companion plant growing activity will bring healing to members exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.”
