The ByHoney garden covers an area of 339㎡ and includes an entrance garden, front yard garden, vegetable garden, a courtyard between the main building and annex, and other convenience facilities such as a lounge, lecture room, parking lot, and restroom.

The garden is themed around a plant garden and is planted with 14 species of trees, 18 species of shrubs, and over 100 species of herbaceous plants. The sight of beautiful flowers blooming and fading with the seasons combined with exhibition materials from the bookstore gallery captures the eye.

Park Tae-sook, CEO of ByHoney who created the garden, said, "Since I was young, I grew up watching my mother plant and care for balsam, peony, cosmos, and other flowers around the earthenware jar stand in the yard. Growing flowers was such a natural and ordinary part of life that I considered the garden important from the time I designed the architecture."

Park added, "The garden is a 'living room without a roof,' so I hope every guest who visits can relax comfortably while enjoying the flowers."
