Goheung Ulimwon (祐林園) is located in Annam-ri, Daeseo-myeon, covering an area of 38,899㎡, and features two themed gardens: a pine garden and a rock garden, along with convenience facilities such as walking trails, parking lots, and restrooms.

The garden owner has cultivated pine trees since 2007 and created walking paths using gravel and cobblestones from the garden, shaping the current Ulimwon (祐林園).

Ulimwon (祐林園), meaning a forest and hill that benefit people, won the grand prize in the private garden category at the Beautiful Garden Contest hosted by Jeollanam-do in 2021.

At the plaque ceremony, County Governor Gong Yeong-min praised the efforts of the Ulimwon (祐林園) garden owner and stated, “We will spare no administrative and financial support to ensure that various garden cultures are enjoyed and that garden culture spreads in daily life through our county’s private gardens.”

Meanwhile, private gardens are gardens created and operated by individuals or organizations that meet certain standards set by Jeollanam-do. Currently, there are 27 private gardens in Jeollanam-do, with five registered in Goheung-gun: Healing Park Ssukseom Ssukseom (No. 1), Geumsegi Garden (No. 4), Jangsuho Healing Garden (No. 7), Hadamjeong (No. 10), and Ulimwon (No. 27).
