[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 18th that the completion ceremony for the premium Zelkova 10-ri Road ‘Garden of Fantasy,’ created along the agricultural waterways near the Hydrangea Park at Dochodo Hwado Ferry Terminal, was held.

The ‘Dochodo Garden of Fantasy,’ which won the grand prize in the urban forest category last year, is planted with 716 premium Zelkova trees aged between 70 and 100 years.

Construction began in March last year and planting was completed by February this year. Underneath the Zelkova trees, herbaceous plants such as hydrangea, Dianthus superbus, and cornflower were planted together to create a three-dimensional landscape.

In Sinan-gun, to create the premium walking trail of the ‘Garden of Fantasy,’ only well-shaped Zelkova trees grown wild across the country were donated, transported, carefully planted, and nurtured. As a result, a 10-ri road of premium Zelkova trees boasting a fantastic appearance was completed.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “I hope the ‘Garden of Fantasy,’ where flowers and trees harmonize, will become a healing walking path to overcome COVID-19. The walking trail has been maintained to be convenient for wheelchairs and strollers, and we will continue to cultivate it so that visitors can stroll in the shade of street trees, feel the island’s nature, and reflect.”

On the same day, the opening ceremony of the Island Hydrangea Online Festival held at Hydrangea Park was also conducted. The festival runs online for 10 days from the 18th to the 27th, allowing visitors to enjoy about 8 million hydrangea flowers of over 40 species in full bloom at Hydrangea Park and the Garden of Fantasy.
