THE EXHIBITION
Chrysanthemums as Living Art
Set on the slopes of Chungnyeongsan Mountain, the Garden of Morning Calm is one of Korea’s best-loved gardens. Every autumn it hosts a chrysanthemum exhibition — now in its 27th year.
Look beyond the colours: some works feature single giant blooms, while “dalyun daejak” plants are trained to carry hundreds of flowers on one stem system. Around them, the garden glows with red maples, golden larches and yellow birch trees.
See the flowers first — then walk the garden as the leaves turn.
