[Haenam=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Sani Garden, the largest children's garden in Korea being created in the Solaside Corporate City in Haenam County, will have a temporary opening in the first half of next year.

Sani Garden is being developed as a representative space of Solaside Corporate City, a garden city with a vision, on an area of about 500,000㎡ (160,000 pyeong) within the Guseong district of Solaside Corporate City, with the name meaning "the mountain (nature) itself becomes a garden."

In particular, Sani Garden will be a complex cultural space where all generations can experience gardens and nature, featuring not only an arboretum and walking trails but also an art museum, cafes, and playground facilities.

Last April, a "Promise Forest Tree Planting Event" was held with the participation of Jeonnam Province, Haenam County, and residents of Sanim-myeon, planting 2,050 carbon reduction trees such as Hwangchil trees, camellia trees, and zelkova trees.

Currently, Sani Garden is showcasing the beautiful appearance of various subtropical plants and sculptures welcoming autumn, and is accelerating garden development aiming for a temporary opening in the first half of next year.

Seonamhaean Corporate City Development Co., Ltd. plans to create nine gardens themed on Guseong Gukyeong (Nine Stars Nine Views) of Guseong-ri, Sanim-myeon, as a new paradigm of sustainable urban development aiming to be a new environmental garden city, a climate change response city, a carbon-neutral city, and a green industry city.

Solaside Corporate City will be built as a self-sufficient city with a population of 36,600 by 2025, investing 1.44 trillion won in a site of 20.89 million㎡ (6.32 million pyeong) in the Guseong-ri area of Sanim-myeon.

Myunghyeon-gwan, the mayor of Haenam County, said, "Sani Garden, representing Haenam as the start of carbon neutrality, is the place where the dream and future of Solaside begin," adding, "We will differentiate it as the world's first garden that simultaneously opens the metaverse platform, a new space for future generations, in both virtual and real worlds."
