Bursting with Fruit Juice! Fruit Orchard Experience Gains Popularity

Suwon Special City will operate an ‘Apple Harvesting Experience Program’ at Suwon City Fruit Orchard Park in Homaesil-dong, Gwonseon-gu, until the 27th of next month.

The program will consist of a total of 23 sessions, with 1,123 participants including children, elementary, middle, and high school students, and underprivileged groups. Participants will receive basic education about the characteristics and benefits of fruit trees, and engage in various experiences such as apple harvesting, fruit tasting, and bingo games.

Suwon City Fruit Orchard Park is the nation's first urban-style fruit orchard park, providing a space where citizens can experience the growth process and harvesting of fruit trees in the city. This year, Suwon City is operating experience programs aligned with the seasonal growth periods of fruit trees, including experiences with fruit flowers and branch growth, as well as seasonal programs for cherries, apricots, plums, grapes, pears, and apples.

An official from Suwon City stated, “Citizens will be able to feel the value of agriculture and the joy of harvest by picking and tasting apples,” and added, “We will continue to operate various experience programs utilizing the fruit orchard park.”
