Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) announced that the Marianne and Margaret Sharing Training Center is being reborn as a healing and relaxation spot filled with diverse herbal scents and an open ocean view.

On the 1st, the county completed the construction of a healing flower bed planting various herbs such as rosemary, mint, lavender, and hydrangea along the entrance of the training center, the walking trail, and the memorial park. It is expected that from late May to mid-June, when the flowers are in full bloom, visitors will be able to enjoy a visual feast filled with herbal fragrances.

In addition, remodeling work to expand the caf? space on the second floor of the memorial hall and change the exterior to floor-to-ceiling glass began in earnest this month. From the end of August, when the project is completed, visitors will be able to enjoy tea while overlooking the vast sea and the beautiful Geogeum Bridge from the caf?.

A Goheung-gun official said, "Just as the two nurses, Marianne and Margaret, healed the bodies and minds of Hansen’s disease patients on Sorokdo Island with a spirit of sharing and service for over 40 years, we will do our best to promote the project so that visitors to the training center, tired from daily life, can soon enjoy a fragrant visual experience and a healing time embracing the sea."

Meanwhile, the Marianne and Margaret Sharing Training Center was selected in March as one of the top 20 Unique Venues chosen by Jeollanam-do, recognized for its distinctive local atmosphere and unique charm as a meeting place.
