Damyang-gun Hosts the 3rd Pretty Garden Contest

Spread of Garden Culture in Daily Life... Applications Open Until the 6th of Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 13th that it will hold the 3rd Pretty Garden Contest to spread garden culture in daily life and to brand itself as an ecological garden city linked with the traditional garden special zone.

The Pretty Garden Contest, which started with the 1st event in 2020, has achieved excellent results in the ‘Jeollanam-do Pretty Garden Contest’ sponsored by the Korea Forest Service, with winning gardens such as Dalbit Garden and Myeongjiwon.

Also, last year’s contest saw more than double the participation rate, showing great effectiveness in spreading garden culture in daily life.

This contest is divided into two categories, individual and neighborhood, for gardens voluntarily created and maintained by private sectors such as private houses, cafes, restaurants, groups, and facilities.

Citizens who wish to participate can submit the garden’s features, photos, and application forms to the relevant eup/myeon office by May 6.

Afterwards, a judging panel composed of related experts will select a total of five places, including three awards: Grand Prize, Excellence Award, and Encouragement Award, and present the county governor’s commendation and plaques. Winners will also have the opportunity to participate as Damyang’s representative in the Jeollanam-do Pretty Garden Contest.

A county official said, “We will make every effort to develop the entire Damyang-gun as one garden to revitalize garden tourism and bring vitality to citizens who have been depressed due to COVID-19,” and added, “We ask for the interest and participation of all citizens who love gardens.”
