Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, is planting seedlings with children.

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) distributed kimchi vegetable seedlings and conducted cultivation education for allotment garden tenants at three Jungnang Happy Farms on the 30th and 31st of last month.

The seedling sharing and education event, co-hosted by the district and the Jungnang Urban Agriculture Cooperative (Chairman Jeong Hyun-ho), was attended by about 400 people including Jungnang District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi, members of the Jungnang Urban Agriculture Cooperative, allotment garden tenants, children from Sangbong Daycare Center, and volunteers.

Over two days, allotment garden tenants received 20 seedlings each of napa cabbage and radish, which are used for kimchi-making, along with 2kg of fertilizer. Urban agriculture experts provided education on how to plant seedlings and seeds, eco-friendly pest and disease control methods, and fertilizer usage.

Jungnang District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, “I hope that by nurturing the seedlings with care, residents can find some time to recover their weary minds from daily life.” He added, “We will continue to expand Jungnang Happy Farms so that more residents can experience urban agriculture and healing, and do our best to offer various programs utilizing the Jungnang Happy Urban Agriculture Center.”
