Seoul Botanic Park

Seoul Botanic Park was established in Magok, the last remaining development area in Seoul, to introduce plants and plant cultures from 12 cities around the world and to enhance the city's ecological sensitivity. As a so-called 'botanic park' that combines a botanical garden and a park, its area is equivalent to the size of 70 soccer fields. It fulfills the fundamental role of a plant research and conservation institution, such as expanding habitats for endangered wild plants, conducting research on the propagation of difficult-to-breed species, and developing new varieties, while also serving as a bridgehead for spreading urban garden culture and as a lifelong education institution. Additionally, in connection with 'Garden City, Seoul,' which is based on the core concepts of emptiness, connection, ecology, and sensitivity, it offers special experiences and relaxation as a venue for plant cultural exchange, establishing itself as an attractive green landmark. Seoul Botanic Park is largely divided into four zones: Open Forest, Lake Garden, Wetland Garden, and Theme Garden, each with its own unique characteristics, allowing visitors to experience four different colors within the botanical garden. In particular, the exhibition greenhouse located within the Theme Garden is the world's only concave dish-shaped greenhouse, displaying native plants from 12 cities in tropical and Mediterranean regions, enabling visitors to experience the distinctive plants and plant cultures of each climate zone.
