Jinju City in Gyeongnam Province is promoting the Wolasan Provincial (National) Garden Development Project and aims to deeply integrate garden culture into the daily lives of citizens and spread it throughout the city by discovering and supporting excellent private gardens created and operated by local corporations, organizations, and individuals.

The city will accept applications for excellent private gardens from the 10th to the 28th of this month, targeting 15 locations. The application conditions require the garden to be owned by an individual residing in Jinju with a minimum area of 30㎡, or by a corporation or organization with a minimum area of 100㎡ (excluding building area). The garden must have a designated opening period during which visitors can be guided and provided with explanations.

Applications can be submitted by visiting or mailing to the Jinju City Hall Forestry Division, referring to the announcement posted on the city hall website.

The city plans to notify the final results by the end of June after on-site evaluations. Selected excellent private gardens will receive a Jinju City private garden registration certificate and registration plaque, along with partial support for purchasing garden management materials. Promotion will also be conducted through online media such as the website and SNS.

A city official stated, “To advance Jinju as a healthy and happy garden city, we hope for active interest and participation from citizens so that everyday garden culture can spread. We plan to discover excellent private gardens with our city’s unique history and culture every year.”
