Seocho District Launches "Gardening on Wheels" Bringing Mobile Gardens by 1-Ton Truck
Plant Consultations for Alleys and Apartments
Sharing Through Recycling Used Flower Pots
The Seocho District Office in Seoul (headed by District Mayor Jeon Seong-su) announced on September 30, 2026, that it will officially launch "Gardening on Wheels," a mobile garden created by remodeling a 1-ton truck. This is a "Visiting Garden" service where plant consultations and sharing activities are directly offered to alleys and apartment complexes, where it is difficult to experience nature.

The core activity focuses on recycling used flower pots. Gardeners collect used pots, cultivate new plants in them, and donate these to welfare facilities or deliver them to single-person senior households or people with disabilities. The program also runs "upcycling gardening," where plants are planted in recycled containers in apartment complexes, allowing residents to participate in plant care together.
Gardening on Wheels also takes part in external events. It will attend the expanded 2026 Seoul International Garden Expo held at Maeheon Citizens' Forest on October 1, as well as the "Yangjae Art Salon," a comprehensive cultural festival held at Yangjaecheon on October 2 and 3, meeting with visitors at both events.

District Mayor Jeon Seong-su stated, "Through Gardening on Wheels, we hope to deliver universal 'green welfare' to residents who are unable to enjoy nature and gardens due to geographic or environmental constraints. We will continue to promote on-site green programs, focusing especially on areas lacking green spaces, in order to spread gardening culture."
