THE SHOW
Seoul’s Biggest Garden Show Ever
Running for 180 days from May 1 to October 27 under the theme “Seoul, Green Culture”, this year’s show turns Seoul Forest, Seongsu-dong and the Han River banks into one giant “Grand Garden” — the largest in the show’s history.
Wander through 167 gardens — from works by international landscape designers to citizen, student and corporate gardens, riverside gardens with Han River views and playful character gardens.
One final week to walk Seoul’s greenest gallery.
