Jangseong-gun Creates Citizen Gardeners' 'Vincent's Ohhwa Garden'

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] The 'Yellow City Citizen Gardeners' of Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, are drawing attention as they beautifully decorate the city streets and villages with flowers and trees.

The county announced on the 15th that it promoted the 'Yellow City Citizen Gardener' project last year to train local residents as landscaping experts.

A total of 46 residents who voluntarily participated in the education completed a year-long training course and held the first graduation ceremony last June.

The graduates have created nine gardens so far and are leading tree selection, planting, and flower arrangement tasks as part of the 'Clean Jeonnam Best Village Making Project' being promoted in each village.

The second batch of Yellow City Citizen Gardener trainees, who started their education in June, were also deployed to the field early on.

Centered around the Hwangryonggang area, the creation of 'Vincent's Ohwawon (Five Stories Garden)' is in full swing to comfort residents weary from COVID-19.

This charming garden, holding five different stories, is expected to be very popular among visitors who come to Hwangryonggang for Chuseok.

The autumn flowers coloring Hwangryonggang and the works of Vincent van Gogh come together to deliver a simple yet moving experience.

Yoo Doo-seok, the county governor, said, "I deeply thank all the citizen gardeners who are working hard to make Jangseong a more beautiful and fragrant place," adding, "We will nurture 100 citizen gardeners by next year to rediscover the value of the region and cultivate a hopeful future for Jangseong together."
