Responding to Climate Change: SEVENTEEN's 3rd Forest

Seoul International Garden Expo – Dongjak District Garden 🍁🍃 ‘Responding to Climate Change’ & ‘SEVENTEEN's 3rd Forest’ I had the opportunity to visit the gardens presented by Dongjak District at the Seoul International Garden Expo: **‘Responding to Climate Change’** and the collaborative project with SEVENTEEN fans, ‘SEVENTEEN's 3rd Forest.’ Both gardens were centered around the themes of environment and sustainability, making them more than just landscaping spaces—they left a lasting impression by encouraging thoughtful reflection.🌳 First, the garden titled ‘Responding to Climate Change’ lived up to its name by raising awareness about the climate crisis. It was designed to evoke the natural ecosystem using eco-friendly materials and native plants, creating a space that emphasized coexistence over reckless development. The arrangement of plants, structures, and explanatory texts were harmoniously integrated, keeping visitors engaged throughout the experience.🦋 Next, I explored **‘SEVENTEEN's 3rd Forest,’** which had a brighter and more vibrant atmosphere. This forest, created in collaboration with the group SEVENTEEN, aimed to highlight the importance of nature to youth and future generations. The harmonious blend of trees, grass, and flowers conveyed the vitality of the forest. It stood out as more than just a fan event, presenting a cultural approach to participating in climate action, which left a positive impression.🔮 🌲 The ‘Responding to Climate Change’ project clearly demonstrated Dongjak District's serious commitment to environmental issues. As a visitor, it was a meaningful experience that conveyed small but significant messages. It was an opportunity to feel close to nature and reflect on the small actions we can take to make a difference.
