Making Kimchi with First Harvested Cabbage from Healing Garden in Segok-dong, Gangnam-gu

Unused National Land (Segok-dong 24) Transformed into Healing Garden; First Harvest of 1,100 Napa Cabbages on the 18th Delivered to Low-Income Families for Kimchi Making

Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong) held a kimchi-making event on the 18th at the Healing Garden in Segok-dong.

This event involved creating a new garden at Segok-dong 24, where they conducted a pilot cultivation and harvested 1,100 heads of napa cabbage for kimchi-making. To expand the popular community gardens for residents, the district worked to find new garden sites in addition to the existing Healing Garden in Segok-dong (Segok-dong 13-2 and two other plots). As a result, they succeeded in converting unused national land at Segok-dong 24 into a garden. The garden that succeeded in pilot cultivation this year will be distributed to residents next year.

Residents from organizations such as the Segok-dong Barugesalgi (Right Living) Association, the Korea Environmental Management Association, and the Women's Association participated in the kimchi-making event. Over four days, they carefully prepared the napa cabbage by trimming, salting, and making the seasoning themselves, and delivered 450 boxes of kimchi to low-income households.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, “We were able to create a garden by effectively utilizing idle spaces in the city center where land prices are high and space is limited. Since the napa cabbage represents the fruits of our efforts to establish the garden, I hope it will be used meaningfully by being delivered to vulnerable groups.”
