Gokseong-gun, Walk Only on Flower Paths

Recruitment of Villages Participating in the Happy Village Flower Road Project

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-sun] Jeonnam Gokseong-gun announced that it is recruiting villages eligible for the 2022 Happy Village Flower Road Creation Project (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Village Flower Road Project’).

The Village Flower Road Project supports residents with project funds to create flower roads that suit the characteristics of their villages. The purpose is for residents to cultivate their own villages, create distinctive landscapes, and enhance community spirit among themselves.

Additionally, in line with the recent trend of Rustic Life (a lifestyle seeking to experience the rural sentiment), the project aims to provide enjoyment to travelers visiting rural areas.

This year, Gokseong-gun plans to select four villages as targets for the Village Flower Road Project. Each village will receive 5 million won in support. The selected village residents can choose locations such as village entrances or open spaces and plant desired perennial flowers.

Since the Village Flower Road Project started in 2019, 28 villages in Gokseong-gun have established flower roads. Participating residents have consistently expressed satisfaction with the project. Resident A said, “Just by planting a few flower clusters, the neighborhood atmosphere completely changed. When the flowers bloom, I feel happy walking around the village thinking, ‘They bloomed beautifully again this year.’”

A Gokseong-gun official said, “We plan to announce the application methods and period for the project in February and accept subsidy applications.”
