[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Suncheonman International Garden Expo Organizing Committee announced on the 30th that it has signed a business agreement with the Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Institute for the successful hosting of the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo.

The signing ceremony held at the Suncheonman International Wetland Center Conference Hall was attended by Heo Seok, Mayor of Suncheon and co-chairman of the 2023 Garden Expo Organizing Committee, Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, Ryu Kwang-soo, Chairman of the Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Institute, and officials from Suncheon City, Jeonnam Province, and the Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Institute.

Through this agreement, the Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Institute plans to support landscaping by creating three outdoor gardens around the Korean Peninsula Crater Garden, which is being developed near the Dongcheon Stream retention basin in Suncheon City. It will also cooperate in promoting the garden expo domestically and internationally to spread garden culture, and jointly collaborate on post-expo utilization plans after the event.

The Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Institute is a public institution established in 2017 to promote the garden industry and revitalize garden culture through the operation and management of national arboretums such as the Baekdudaegan National Arboretum, Sejong National Arboretum, and National Institute of Native Plant Resources, as well as garden creation consulting and garden-related technology development for the conservation and research of forest biological resources.

Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, said, “The garden culture industry is a new growth engine for Korea in the post-COVID-19 era, and through the 2023 International Garden Expo, our region is expected to stand tall as the center of world garden culture.”

Heo Seok, Mayor of Suncheon, said, “Having the nation’s top arboretum and garden management institution, loved by the public, join us for the successful hosting of the garden expo will be a great help in preparing and holding the expo, and it already feels like a success.”

The 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo will be an expo where the entire city becomes a garden and citizens participate together. It is scheduled to be held for six months from April 22 to October 22 next year throughout Suncheon City, including Suncheonman National Garden, Suncheonman Wetland, and Dongcheon Stream.
