Jeonbuk Province Selected for Mugunghwa Park Development Project Competition

Created at 2 Locations Including Uwanegeori in Jeonju City and Gyoryongsan Tourist Complex in Namwon City

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonbuk Province announced on the 12th that two sites were selected in the ‘2022 Mugunghwa Garden Creation Project’ contest hosted by the Korea Forest Service, securing 100 million KRW in national funding.

The Mugunghwa Garden project has been promoted by the Korea Forest Service since 2010 to provide citizens with easy access to the national flower, the Mugunghwa, in their daily lives and to increase public interest in the national flower.

In this Korea Forest Service contest, the area around Uane Street in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju City, and the Gyoryongsan Tourist Complex in Namwon City were selected.

Accordingly, Jeonbuk Province plans to create Mugunghwa Gardens worth 100 million KRW each by receiving 50 million KRW in national funding per project.

So far, since 2010, Jeonbuk Province has responded to the contest by creating 13 Mugunghwa Gardens in major parks such as Munhak Grand Park in Jeonju and Guam 3.1 Park in Gunsan.

This year as well, efforts continue steadily to promote Mugunghwa in daily life, including creating a 1.35-hectare Mugunghwa Garden adjacent to Iksan Seodong Rural Theme Park and Buan Provincial Garden.
