[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City in Gyeongnam signed a business agreement with the Korea Rural Community Corporation Jinju Sancheong Branch on the 15th at City Hall to establish Wolasan National Garden.

According to the agreement, the Korea Rural Community Corporation Jinju Sancheong Branch promised consultation, consulting, and technical support in the field related to the establishment of the national garden, and both organizations agreed to cooperate in facility maintenance and management, discovery of traditional gardens, and spreading garden culture.

Since taking the first step in the Wolasan National Garden establishment project last November, Jinju City has actively requested cooperation through symposiums with garden experts such as the Gyeongsang National University International Garden Research Center and meetings with Choi Byung-am, the head of the Korea Forest Service, and Lee Yu-mi, the director of the National Sejong Arboretum.

In addition, the “Jinju City Ordinance on the Creation and Promotion of Garden Culture,” which can serve as a basis to support the activation of the garden industry and the spread of garden culture, passed the city council and went into effect, swiftly advancing preliminary work for the national garden establishment project, allowing the project to get on track early.

Jinju Mayor Jo Gyu-il explained the city’s intention to further develop “Jinju in the Forest of Wolasan” and cultivate it into Wolasan National Garden, and requested active cooperation from the Korea Rural Community Corporation during the project implementation process.

Mayor Jo predicted, “Once the national garden is established, it will be able to perform an important function as a central waterfront space.”

Kim Young-yuk, head of the Jinju Sancheong Branch, stated, “We will actively cooperate on matters where the Rural Community Corporation can assist in promoting the Wolasan National Garden.”
