Naju City, Planting Naju Love Trees on Abandoned Land

Neglected land in Naju is attracting attention as it transforms into a colorful flower garden.

Geumcheon-myeon, Naju City recently carried out the "2024 Naju Love Tree Planting Project" on a 1,187㎡ abandoned land site in Sangchon Village.

The site had been a concern for illegal dumping of trash, but about 100 participants including the village head council, residents' autonomy committee, Saemaeul Women's Association members, and village residents planted 2,000 Yeongsanhong azaleas and 1,000 Jasanhong azaleas.

The residents who participated in the activity said, "We will plant various flowers and maintain the area consistently to cultivate it into a beautiful healing garden throughout all four seasons."

Choi Yoonim, head of Geumcheon-myeon, expressed, "I sincerely thank the residents who actively participated in the village beautification project despite the busy farming season," and added, "We will develop this site into one of the village's representative attractions to continue drawing visitors from outside."
