Osan City Selected for Gyeonggi Province Community Garden Project for Fourth Consecutive Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City has been selected for the Gyeonggi Province Community Garden Creation Project for the fourth consecutive year.

Osan City announced on the 14th that two gardens were selected in the '2021 Gyeonggi Province Community Garden Creation Project,' securing 550 million won in project funds. With this selection, Osan City has been chosen for four consecutive years following the No. 1 Sema Art Village Garden, No. 2 Maehol Dure Village Garden, and No. 3 Wondong Flower-Blooming Village Garden.

The community garden project is a business that converts idle land and vacant spaces within the city that require environmental improvement into gardens. It is divided into 'citizen participation-type community gardens' where the community takes the lead and participates from planning to implementation, and 'Everyone's Garden,' where the city, as the first in the province, creates gardens capable of operating educational programs and activities.

In this project, the city selected ▲'We All Garden' in Daewoosaebang Apartment in Sucheong-dong, a citizen participation-type community garden ▲'Everyone's Garden' in Dolmen Park in Geunam-dong, a public-type garden.

A city official stated, "The creation of the fourth community garden next year will be an opportunity for citizens to experience open garden culture," and added, "We will continue to make efforts to spread garden culture that citizens can directly create and experience together with citizens."
