Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 21st that it will operate the 'Botanic Garden Hwaseong Citizen Planning Group Program' to enhance citizens' understanding of 'Botanic Garden Hwaseong' and to create a sustainable urban environment.

'Botanic Garden Hwaseong' is a key pledge project of the 8th term of the local government, aiming to create a public garden that combines plant-themed specialized content by utilizing Hwaseong City's hub urban parks and green spaces, providing citizens with a high-level ecological leisure and cultural space.

Since last year, the city has formed a citizen planning group to actively gather various opinions and build consensus on the project to encourage active citizen participation.

On the 19th, about 20 people, including Kim Seon-il, head of the Botanic Garden Promotion Team, and members of the citizen planning group, attended a site inspection of the 'Our Flower Botanical Garden Improvement Project,' one of the main projects, and participated in garden culture education at Hwaseong Our Flower Botanical Garden.

The city plans to operate the citizen planning group program in the future, including ▲ collecting opinions on the winning design of the Our Flower Botanical Garden Improvement Project ▲ garden culture education ▲ visits to exemplary sites ▲ and online and offline promotion related to the project.

Choi Byung-ju, head of Hwaseong City Park and Greenery Project Office, said, "We will actively strive to form citizen consensus and gather diverse opinions, which are core to the creation of Botanic Garden Hwaseong."
