Jirisan Garden, located in Sandong-myeon, Gurye-gun, has been registered as the 3rd local garden of Jeollanam-do.

Jirisan Garden is a forest garden with a total area of 10.89 hectares, featuring 206 species, 143,593 trees, 2 rare plant species, and 2 endemic plant species. It offers a garden where visitors can experience a variety of Jirisan plant species and the natural scenery of Jirisan as it is.

In addition, it has all the necessary facilities for a local garden, including five themed gardens: Sky Garden, Starlight Forest Garden, Harmony Garden, Wild Garden, and Private Garden, as well as 27 convenience facilities such as experience centers, parking lots, and restrooms.

This is the third local garden in five years, following the first national garden, Suncheonman Bay National Garden (2015), and the second, Damyang Juknokwon (2019), both of which have already been promoted to national gardens.

Park Jongpil, Director of the Environment and Forestry Bureau of Jeollanam-do, said, “Maintenance and management are more important than creation when it comes to gardens,” and added, “We will continue to strive to improve the completeness and quality of Jirisan Garden in Gurye, the 3rd local garden, so that it can establish itself as a representative garden of Jeollanam-do.”

Jeollanam-do is currently developing eight local gardens and has registered 27 private gardens to create various types of premium forests and gardens befitting the reputation of Jeollanam-do, the home of gardens.
