The annual usage fee is 50,000 KRW, and those eligible for reductions, such as recipients of the National Basic Livelihood Security, single-parent family protection recipients, and persons with disabilities, pay 25,000 KRW. Applications can be made through the Pyeongtaek Agricultural Ecology Center website after mobile phone identity verification. Users are selected by lottery, not on a first-come, first-served basis.

At the end of March, the city will conduct preliminary education on garden management and cultivation techniques, and in mid-August, it plans to provide education on kimchi vegetable management and cultivation techniques.
