[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it has created flower pots and flower beds along major streets, overpasses, and walking trails in the area to welcome the spring season.

First, flower pots were installed along roads and sidewalks.

A total of 3,795 flower pots were placed along 76 km, including streetlight poles on 14 major routes such as Dongil-ro and Hwarang-ro, the Suraksan Design Street, and the Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail, as well as 16 major pedestrian overpasses including Danghyeon Bridge and Hancheon Bridge.

The varieties mainly consist of petunias, which have a long blooming period and are resistant to pests and sunlight, along with 12 other types of flowers such as geraniums and gomphrena. To avoid monotony, four types totaling 1,069 pots were installed on streetlight poles, and six types totaling 2,726 pots were installed on overpasses, depending on the installation location.

The spring flower pots will be maintained until July, and from September, they will be replaced with autumn flowers to allow residents to feel the change of seasons.

The main walking trails along the streams, popular among residents, were also refreshed with spring flowers.

Along each stream, Danghyeoncheon features petunias, digitalis, lupines, hydrangeas, and geraniums; Jungnangcheon flower garden mainly has gomphrena, marigolds, snapdragons, and gazanias; and the specialized flower beds along Uicheon are decorated distinctively with marguerites, lilies, impatiens, and French lavender.

In particular, a section of the specialized flower bed near the Danghyeoncheon flower waterfall displays upcycling artworks to add visual enjoyment.

The exhibition is composed of three zones.

▲ The Bicycle Zone, themed ‘Travel,’ uses discarded bicycles ▲ The Gardening Zone recreates ‘Everyday Gardening’ with discarded cans, shovels, desks, and chairs ▲ The Camping Zone evokes a camping atmosphere using Indian flags, camping tables, and fire pits. Each zone includes photo zones where visitors can take pictures inside the artworks.

Lastly, in front of Hwarangdae Railroad Park Station in Gongneung-dong, an Avatar Flower Tree will be installed. The 6-meter-high and 10-meter-wide sculpture consists of 1,500 flower pots, with a 25㎡ flower bed beneath it. Various annual flowers such as golden arborvitae, bleeding hearts, lilies of the valley, and marigolds were planted to be enjoyed until autumn. Forty landscaping plants were installed along with the flowers on the sculpture, making it a symbolic landmark of the Nowon Light Garden that can be enjoyed even at night.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “I hope residents can take a moment to heal while enjoying the beautiful spring flowers on the streets,” and added, “We will strive to help people feel the four seasons of nature in their daily lives.”
