Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 16th that it is focusing on the production of flower seedlings, the core of the festival, and the creation of flower beds at the festival site to ensure the successful hosting of the Hwasun Dolmen Festival, which will be held for 10 days starting from the 21st of next month.

In preparation for the festival, the Agricultural Technology Center's nursery has been cultivating a variety of distinctive flowers since early this year, including ▲ 180,000 annual flowers of 18 species (Viola, Daisy, Pansy, Snapdragon, etc.) ▲ 110,000 flowers of 7 species (Rose, Hydrangea, Rapeseed flower, etc.) ▲ 5 species of landscaping trees (Flowering peach, Blue Angel, etc.).

Additionally, flower sculptures shaped like Bronze Age artifacts such as Paljuryeong, bronze swords, and bronze mirrors will be created to promote the dolmen sites, a treasure trove of World Cultural Heritage.

The 11-hectare rapeseed flower field, sown and cultivated since the end of last year, combined with various photo zones, is expected to provide even more beautiful and abundant attractions.

Moreover, a vegetable garden featuring various crops such as asparagus and tomatoes will be created to introduce Hwasun’s specialized crops to visitors.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center said, “We will prepare spring flowers and diverse attractions well so that visitors can feel the charm of the World Cultural Heritage and the bright spring atmosphere, leaving happy memories in Hwasun.”
