National Garden Culture Center

The National Garden Culture Center is a national institution dedicated to Korean garden culture, located in Damyang, a district within the integrated Gwangju Metropolitan City in South Jeolla Province. Affiliated with the Korea Arboretum and Garden Management Institute under the Ministry of Forestry, it opened in September 2025 and features 16 themed gardens spread across a vast area. The outdoor gardens showcase a harmonious blend of traditional Korean architecture, trees, and various flowering plants, allowing visitors to leisurely stroll and enjoy the seasonal plant displays. The indoor gallery greenhouse area features an exhibition garden themed around fragrance, with a concentrated collection of plant species unique to the southern region, such as *Jinmokseo*, *Kkotjija*, *Hallgtkkwal* (a type of citrus fruit from Jeju Island), and *Samjidaknamu*, providing both visual and olfactory delights. Inside, there are also facilities such as classrooms for garden-related courses, a cafe serving beverages, and a garden shop selling plant-related merchandise.
