Gurye-gun, Buddha's Birthday 'Buddha Flower, Daylily, Chrysanthemum Seedling' Sharing Event

On the 15th, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it distributed 5,000 free plants, including Buddha flowers, daylilies, and chrysanthemums, at Hwaeomsa Temple and Cheoneunsa Temple to commemorate Buddha's Birthday.

The flowers used in this sharing event were jointly cultivated by members of the Gurye-gun Urban Regeneration Support Center and the Kkotchaeun Chrysanthemum Love Association. The Buddha flower is known as the flower offered to Buddha instead of the lotus, while the Golip daylily and the bright yellow, modest small chrysanthemums are flowers native to Nogodan.

Since 2015, Gurye-gun and Hwaeomsa Temple have signed a business agreement and have cooperated to successfully promote the Gurye-gun urban regeneration project.

This flower sharing event, now in its sixth year, has received positive responses from local residents and visitors to Hwaeomsa Temple.

Especially this year, an on-the-spot pressed flower experience using Bodhi tree leaves was held, attracting much interest from families visiting with children.

County Governor Kim Sun-ho said, “We will continue to further activate the urban regeneration project and actively promote various events that can be shared with residents.”

Meanwhile, Gurye-gun is promoting an urban regeneration project that fills Gurye-eup with flowers in collaboration with various local communities such as the ‘Kkotchaeun Chrysanthemum Love Association’ and ‘People Making Gurye Milppang,’ and from October 31 this year, the 「Urban Regeneration Harmony Festival」 will be held, featuring a chrysanthemum exhibition, Gurye Milppang Festival, and Nogodal Market.
