First, Jinju City will create a specialized garden under the theme 'A Garden Like Jinju, Jinju in the Garden' at Boramae Park in Seoul, where the '2025 Seoul International Garden Expo' will be held in May.

Seoul City will create a garden reflecting the philosophy and direction of Seoul as a garden city at Chojon Park, the venue for the '2025 Korea Garden Industry Expo in Jinju,' from June 13 to 22. Through this, the two cities plan to share garden culture and establish a platform for cooperation toward the development of the garden industry.

During the '2025 Korea Garden Industry Expo,' a variety of garden exhibitions and hands-on events will be provided, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of gardens and envision the future of the garden industry together.

A city official stated, "The 2025 Korea Garden Industry Expo will be an opportunity for Jinju City to leap forward as the center of Korea's garden culture and industry," adding, "We hope that many citizens and visitors will show interest and participate."
