[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] On the 7th, Osan City held the opening ceremony for the '2021 Farming Garden Gardner Program' in cooperation with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) at the Seokyo District 2 Zone 1 Neighborhood Park to promote community formation and vitalize urban gardening and agricultural activities.

Farming Garden refers to an urban park-style cultivation community being promoted to improve quality of life through cultivation of flowers and crops, foster local community, and create beautiful cities.

Approximately 50 people, including Osan City Mayor Kwak Sang-wook, Jung Su-mi, head of LH's Urban Landscape Division, and farming garden gardner students, attended the event, where the program's operational direction was introduced and future gardener activity schedules were announced before jointly conducting seed potato planting.

Meanwhile, the city signed a 'Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Operation of Urban Agriculture Community Farming Garden' with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) for the first time in December last year, and selected 36 gardeners through preliminary recruitment.
