[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City is launching a garden culture creation project that adds themes to small urban gardens.

The ‘2022 Urban Theme Garden Creation Project,’ promoted under the Green New Deal policy, is a project to establish new garden culture models in various forms.

The target sites are two locations: the themed garden around the Children’s History Experience Center in Seongnam-dong, Jung-gu, and the themed garden in Sinjeong Park, Sinjeong-dong, Nam-gu.

The Jung-gu themed garden will cover an area of 100㎡ and will be a charming alley garden capturing the innocence of children. Construction will begin in May and is scheduled to be completed in October.

The Nam-gu Sinjeong Park themed garden will cover 450㎡, featuring a colorful hyacinth theme garden and a resting area. Construction will start in March and be completed in December.

The urban theme garden project renovates neighborhood leftover land and idle sites into various forms of green spaces within living areas, serving as a pilot model to spread garden culture in daily life.

Its purpose is to create new healing and cultural spaces in everyday living areas where people can relax.

Once the themed gardens are established, Ulsan City plans to maintain them in partnership with urban forest garden managers, citizen gardeners, Keunaegi gardeners, and park caretakers.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We expect the gardens to provide citizens with a beautiful and pleasant environment and to serve as spaces for rest, healing, and communication.”

Currently, Ulsan City has designated three private gardens and one community garden, and 15 practice gardens and four lifestyle-oriented gardens are either being created or under construction.
