Anseong City "Give a Hometown Love Donation and Receive a 'Garden Plot' as a Thank-You Gift"

Anseong Matchum Land and Yongduri Garden Offer 40 Plots

Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province has offered 'garden plot leases' as a thank-you gift for hometown love donations.

On the 15th, Anseong City announced that Mayor Kim Bora will recruit urban farmers to cultivate public community gardens through the 'Hometown Love Donation System' starting from the 18th.

The Hometown Love Donation System allows individuals to donate to local governments other than their place of residence, with a limit of 5 million KRW per person. Donations up to 100,000 KRW receive a full tax credit, and local governments provide thank-you gifts worth up to 30% of the donation amount. Donations exceeding 100,000 KRW receive a 16.5% tax credit benefit.

The garden plots offered as thank-you gifts this time include 40 leases at two locations: Anseong Matchum Land (7,388㎡) in Bokpyeong-ri, Bogae-myeon, and Yongdu-ri (7,628㎡) in Gongdo-eup. Each garden plot lease covers an area of 10㎡ and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Anseong Matchum Land features the Namsadang Performance Hall, an Astronomy Science Center, and a camping site, while the garden plots near Gongdo-eup are close to Anseong Starfield, allowing visitors to enjoy various Anseong tourist attractions, the city explained.

An official from Anseong City said, "This is a great opportunity to participate in the Hometown Love Donation System and experience being an urban farmer by managing a weekend farm."
