Yeongdeungpo 1-dong: Barley Field Created in Apartment Sky Garden

Yeongdeungpo

The management committee of Kyeryong Resvill Sky in Yeongdeungpo 1-dong (Chairman Kim Hyun-sung) planted approximately 250 barley seedlings in 30 eco-friendly wooden planters in the apartment's rooftop sky garden on the 7th, with the participation of approximately 30 residents including members of the apartment's women's association.

This barley planting event is part of the '2011 Suwon City Village Renaissance Competition' project, initiated by residents who have long felt the shortage of green spaces and resident rest areas.

The initiative aims to convert the previously unused rooftop into a vegetable garden available for residents to lease, and by planting barley in 30 eco-friendly wooden planters jointly created, the project seeks to transform the space into an eco-friendly rest area.

Lee Nan-ho, head of Yeongdeungpo 1-dong, said, "With the residents' love and care for the sky garden vegetable garden, the barley is expected to grow well," and expressed hope that "it will become a space of friendship and harmony that serves as a beneficial natural learning ground for students."
