Gurye-gun Opens Smart Garden Filled with Air-Purifying Plants

Automated Plant Management Vertical Garden in Baekdudaegan Ecological Education Center

Planted with 396 Units of 5 Air-Purifying Plant Species

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun announced that it will open a green-filled Smart Garden at the Baekdudaegan Ecological Education Center by the end of June to provide visitors with a pleasant viewing environment.

The Smart Garden creation project is a Korea Forest Service public contest project, featuring a new type of vertical garden equipped with automated plant management technologies such as temperature, humidity, and light control, planted with air-purifying plants that have excellent air quality improvement effects.

The smart indoor garden is mainly installed on walls or unused spaces in public institutions, hospitals, and other multi-use facilities to reduce fine dust, improve indoor environments, and provide a comfortable resting and working environment, thereby enhancing public health and welfare.

The Smart Garden, first implemented by Gurye-gun this time, planted 396 plants of five species including Snow Sapphire, Marble Skindapsus, and Abies, which have excellent air purification capabilities.

By introducing automated plant management technology, soil moisture, temperature, watering, and lighting are automated and can be monitored and managed wirelessly, making garden maintenance convenient and minimizing costs.

An official from the county said, “We hope that visitors and residents alike will enjoy the Smart Garden, where you can enjoy a four-season garden without worrying about fine dust, relieve daily stress, and take good memories at the photo zone filled with various plants.”
