Gyeongsan City in North Gyeongsang Province is operating a "Visiting Companion Plant Clinic" for two days on May 12 and 13, targeting approximately 200 citizens at four apartment complexes within the city.
For the efficient operation of this companion plant clinic, each apartment complex will host about 50 participants, with each person eligible to receive services for up to three plants, each with a pot diameter of 30 cm or less.
At the on-site clinic, under the guidance of an urban agriculture manager, participating citizens will experience repotting their own plants and have the opportunity to resolve various questions about plant care, including repotting techniques, causes and treatments for diseased plants, management methods, and watering tips.
A city official stated, "We will continue to expand opportunities for practicing urban agriculture in daily life to promote citizens' emotional stability and the spread of a green lifestyle culture. Furthermore, we aim to broaden the multifunctional value of agriculture," adding, "We will continue to provide education tailored to the needs of urban residents to integrate agriculture into everyday life."
