Korean Nongchon Jidoja Jindo-gun Yeonhaphoe Creates Zinnia and Marigold Flower Park

Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 12th that the Korea Rural Leaders Jindo-gun Federation members created a flower garden at Hangari Park in Gunnae-myeon.

About 40 members participated in removing weeds from Hangari Park and the surrounding roads and created a beautiful flower garden for Chuseok, including zinnias and marigolds.

Along with creating the flower garden, they also carried out environmental cleanup by collecting household waste around the park, making efforts to provide a resting place where hometown visitors and tourists can enjoy the flowers and relax during Chuseok.

In particular, next year, buckwheat flower seeds will be sown in a roadside vacant lot, promising a view of fully bloomed white buckwheat flowers.

Meanwhile, Hangari Park, located near Jindo Bridge, the gateway to Jindo, features a jar statue, unique sculptures made from reclaimed wood, a log bridge, a vine plant tunnel, and pavilions as rest facilities.

Kang Nam-cheol, president of the Korea Rural Leaders Jindo-gun Federation, said, “We are actively participating in activities such as collecting empty pesticide bottles and promoting a safe farming environment without accidents,” adding, “We will strive to cultivate a beautiful Jindo.”

An official from the Jindo-gun Agricultural Technology Center said, “We plan to actively promote the creation of beautiful places such as flower parks,” and requested “the interest of residents and tourists.”
