Gyeongbuk's First Local Garden Opens... 'Gyeongbuk Cheonnyeon Supjeongwon' Commemorative Festival Kicks Off

Governor Lee Cheol-woo: "A Healing Space for Residents, a Hub for the Garden Industry"

‘Gyeongbuk Millennium Forest Garden,’ the first local garden in Gyeongbuk, has opened its doors.

The Gyeongsangbuk-do Forest Environment Research Institute will hold the opening ceremony of the Gyeongbuk Millennium Forest Garden, created within the institute, on the 24th.

About 300 people, including Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, Bae Han-cheol, Chairman of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Council, Joo Nak-young, Mayor of Gyeongju City, Lim Sang-seop, Deputy Administrator of the Korea Forest Service, and related forestry organizations, attended the event to celebrate the grand opening of the garden.

The opening celebration was held under the theme “Everyone is a Flower.”

This conveys the message that residents are precious and loved just as they are, anytime and anywhere, like flowers. It also signifies that the Gyeongbuk Millennium Forest Garden will be a healing space for the residents.

The festival, which continues until the 25th, offers free experiences for residents such as spring flower planting, little gardeners, terrarium and natural material making.

Thirteen themed gardens, including Mirror Forest, Forest Shade Garden, and Willow Pond Garden, combined with spring flowers, provide a rich visual experience. The garden is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be visited free of charge.

The garden festival will be held annually as an event involving local residents, artists, and students.

Registered as the first local garden in Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 17th, the Gyeongbuk Millennium Forest Garden features new themed gardens such as a garden practice site, a forest specialized for natural monuments, and a crape myrtle forest, offering experiential programs like citizen gardeners and artist gardens.

Um Tae-in, Director of the Gyeongbuk Forest Environment Research Institute, said, “The garden industry is a high value-added industry that creates jobs and tourism demand,” adding, “We will make Gyeongbuk Province a hub for the garden industry and contribute to increasing residents’ income.”
