This contest was organized by transforming the experience garden plots, where summer crops had already been harvested, into citizen-participation spaces.

Twenty teams participated, each tending to their assigned garden plot for about two months starting from mid-August, and their results were evaluated. Four urban agriculture experts conducted both document reviews and on-site inspections, and five teams were honored with awards.

At the ceremony, the "Bountiful Harvest Garden Award," which evaluated the abundance and healthiness of crops, went to the "Autumn Scenery Garden Team." The "Beautiful Garden Award," which assessed the harmony of the garden, was given to the "Round & Flat Team." The "Idea Award," recognizing creative ideas, was awarded to the "Namsae Team." In addition, the "Full of Passion Award," which evaluated teamwork and participation, went to the "Everyone's Care Team," and the "Story Garden Award," which assessed the storytelling power of the garden, was given to the "Master Gardener 6th Class Team."

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "The hands that tend to small gardens change the daily life of the city and connect neighbors," adding, "We will continue to expand citizen-led urban agriculture spaces throughout residential areas."
