Busan Metropolitan City’s Hwamyeong Arboretum (hereinafter, the “Arboretum”) announced that it will provide a “Monthly Bloom Update Notification Service” from February through December this year.
The Monthly Bloom Update Notification Service was designed to expand opportunities for nature learning by providing ecological information on diverse plant resources, and to enhance convenience for visitors.
Through this service, the City expects to improve visitor satisfaction for citizens visiting the Arboretum and increase accessibility to plant-related information.
Each month, the Arboretum will produce a Bloom Map featuring representative plant species and their bloom information. Visitors can scan the QR code on banners installed throughout the Arboretum to easily check bloom information on their mobile devices without installing a separate app.
The Bloom Map will be updated on the first Tuesday of every month, selecting representative plant species for each month based on existing planting information within the Arboretum as well as bloom and fruiting data.
In February, the first month of the service, the Bloom Map will feature bloom updates for representative species that signal the end of the cold winter and the beginning of early spring, including Japanese allspice, witch hazel, and Adonis amurensis.
Kim Jong-yeol, Director of Busan Metropolitan City’s Green City Development Project Office, said, “Through this Bloom Update Notification Service at Hwamyeong Arboretum, we hope to narrow the distance between nature and people so that more citizens can experience the beauty of nature and the changes it brings at the Arboretum.”
