Songpa-gu to Create Beautiful Flower Streets All Year Round

Planting Summer Flowers such as French Lavender and Hydrangea... Creating Themed Flower Beds at Major Spots in Songpa

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, “We will create a ‘stay-worthy’ beautiful landscaped city, Songpa, with streets blooming flowers all year round”

Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced plans to plant summer flowers such as French lavender and impatiens along major roads with heavy foot traffic to create cool and refreshing streets for the upcoming summer.

With the goal of “beautiful streets blooming flowers all year round,” the district will start with major intersections frequently used by vehicles and pedestrians, transforming roadside areas and medians into themed flower beds filled with seasonal flowers that evoke the scent of summer.

To this end, summer flowers representing the season such as French lavender, hydrangea, impatiens, and hot lip sage will be planted across 5 locations totaling 3,405㎡, including one traffic island at Jamsil Station Intersection, three medians on Olympic-ro, and one traffic island at Garak Market Intersection, breathing life into the otherwise barren road environment.

In particular, this summer at the Jamsil Station Intersection traffic island, French lavender and hydrangea, symbols of summer, will serve as the base, complemented by angelonia, gomphrena, marigold, and other annual flowers to add depth to the flower beds. The harmonious blend of vibrant colors creates a cool and refreshing urban atmosphere.

Additionally, on the medians of Olympic-ro and the traffic island at Garak Market Intersection, brightly colored and heat-resistant species such as marigold and gomphrena will be planted to allow residents to enjoy flowers for an extended period even during the hot summer.

Moreover, to let residents fully enjoy the seasonal ambiance throughout Songpa-gu, the district plans to decorate streets with various seasonal flowers through the installation of flower pots at major intersections and hanging flower pots at central bus stops.

Furthermore, this initiative will be linked with the ‘Songpa-daero Premium Street Creation’ plan, enhancing the project’s effectiveness by introducing design concepts alongside the creation of flower-lined roads.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “I hope residents regain vitality during the hot summer by seeing the cool-colored summer flowers blooming throughout Songpa-gu. Moving forward, we will not only create beautiful streets blooming flowers all year round but also introduce design concepts into urban spaces to make Songpa-daero, the face of Songpa, the best premium street.”
