Everyone is familiar with that building, the four-season greenhouse at the National Sejong Arboretum.
To visit the Sejong Arboretum, you can park your car in the parking lot, purchase your admission ticket, and enter.
The greenhouse at Sejong Arboretum is divided into three sections: the Tropical Greenhouse, the Mediterranean Greenhouse, and the Special Exhibition Hall.
The Tropical Greenhouse features tropical plants, the Mediterranean Greenhouse showcases plants from the Mediterranean region, and the Special Exhibition Hall is a space where various themes are represented using plants.
Currently, there is the 'Peter Rabbit's Secret Garden' exhibition..
When you enter through the main entrance, you'll find the Green Wall installed to the right.
Companion Plant Counseling Room
You can use this service by making a reservation for a visit and consultation in advance through the Sejong Arboretum website.

Special Exhibition Hall
Themed around Peter Rabbit, the space is curated and adorned throughout with photo zones.
Interestingly, some areas are composed of native plants found in Korea.
Tropical Greenhouse
Upon entering, the entrance was filled with various plants from the Calathea family, each neatly arranged by type. I even spotted a plant that I personally cultivate.
I discovered it last year, and I didn't realize it was such a commonly seen plant.
I didn't capture the entire greenhouse in photos. The vast space made it challenging to capture with a smartphone camera, and my current focus was more on the plants themselves. In fact, I forgot whether I was there to appreciate the shapes of the plant leaves.
Mediterranean Greenhouse
The Mediterranean greenhouse was extremely dry, and I could quickly discern the difference from the tropical greenhouse.
Coming here, I realized that unlike Seoul Botanic Park, which has one greenhouse, Sejong Arboretum coexists with both tropical and Mediterranean plants.
At Sejong Arboretum, they understand the positive impact of plants on humans and develop various programs for children to engage in experiential activities.
The displayed artworks are the results of a two-month project conducted with children.
Having visited Cheongju's Midong Arboretum, Seoul Botanic Park, and Sejong Arboretum, I now wish to explore the Eden Project in the UK.
