Daejeon City announced that the area of 95-1, Heukseok-dong, Seo-gu (1.41 million square meters) has been officially designated and approved by the Korea Forest Service as the “Daejeon Norubeol Local Garden Site.”

After establishing a plan to promote the Daejeon Norubeol Local Garden Project, the city submitted an application for designation as a local garden site to the Korea Forest Service in August.

The Korea Forest Service notified its approval for the designation after on-site inspections and expert advisory meetings, with conditions including the completion of preliminary administrative procedures and the inclusion of plans for ecological conservation and functional enhancement.

The Norubeol Garden project will invest 178 billion KRW to create the largest premium garden in the central region, utilizing the beautiful natural landscapes of forests, rivers, and fields across approximately 1.41 million square meters.

Themed gardens will include a Garden Culture Center, Garden Practice Room, Flower Wave Hill, Artist Island Garden, Bandisaet River, Children's Play Garden, Norusan Forest Trail Garden, Four Seasons Garden, and more, connecting ecological resources to offer various activities such as gardening programs and to promote garden culture.

Currently, the feasibility study for the Norubeol Local Garden project is being conducted by the Korea Local Administration Research Institute (LIMAC).

The city plans to complete administrative procedures such as central investment review and changes to the greenbelt management plan by the end of 2025, with construction scheduled to begin in 2027.

Lee Jangwoo, Mayor of Daejeon, said, “We will make every effort to proceed with follow-up procedures without delay, utilizing the natural beauty of Norubeol to become a premium garden city and contribute to revitalizing the local economy.”
