Venue: Maeheon Citizen’s Forest
Theme: Citizens’ Garden / Seoul, Green Culture
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced a fall chapter at Maeheon Citizen’s Forest, following the spring-to-autumn program at Seoul Forest. Preparatory work began in August, and about 50 gardens are being created in phases with citizen participation.
The city has also announced garden workshops, forest-themed activities and a Garden Market for plants, supplies and decorative items. Specific operating times, workshop capacity and market sellers may change, so international visitors should check the official garden-show page near their visit.
Why it is a useful Seoul news item
Garden events are a lower-pressure alternative to packed shopping districts and ticketed concerts. The fall venue also offers a reason to explore a less obvious part of Seoul. It works best for travelers who can keep the plan flexible for weather.
