Hansujeong Launches Globalization of 'K-Garden' in Partnership with US Arboretums and Gardens

The Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Corporation (hereafter referred to as Hansujeong) is launching an initiative to globalize Korean-style gardens.

On May 26, Hansujeong announced that it will collaborate with leading arboretums and gardens in the United States to promote the K-Garden culture locally.

To this end, Hansujeong has established a foundation for exchange with institutions such as the New York Botanical Garden, Longwood Gardens, and Morton Arboretum in the central and eastern regions of the United States. The areas of cooperation include: joint exhibitions and educational programs on garden culture, exchange and redundant conservation of plant species, sharing of garden-based therapeutic programs, and linking garden materials to industry.

Among these partnerships, Hansujeong signed a memorandum of understanding with the New York Korean Cultural Center on May 19 to jointly plan a media exhibition under the theme "Korean Gardens Across Time (K-Garden Across Time)."

Previously, Hansujeong hosted exhibitions and cultural events using the "Aeyangdan" Korean garden created last year at the New York Korean Cultural Center, and pledged ongoing cooperation to further the spread of K-Gardens.

Longwood Gardens is renowned as one of the world's leading institutions in plant exhibitions. Hansujeong and Longwood Gardens have agreed to cooperate in areas including exhibitions and cultural exchanges, the exchange of plant management techniques and plant resources, and the exchange of professional personnel.

In addition, Hansujeong has specified plans with the New York Botanical Garden for joint development of therapeutic horticulture education and garden material products, and with Morton Arboretum for sharing expertise and securing original species for the collection of Quercus (oak) and Acer (maple) species.

Shim Sangtaek, Chairman of Hansujeong, stated, "We expect that collaboration with local arboretums and gardens in the United States will serve as a catalyst for the globalization and enhanced competitiveness of K-Gardens. Hansujeong will continue to build sustainable partnerships with global arboretum and garden institutions, and will expand international cooperation for the spread of garden culture and the conservation of biodiversity."
