Garden of Morning Calm, Botanical garden in Gapyeong, South Korea

The Garden of Morning Calm spans 0.33 square kilometers and contains 5,000 plant species arranged across 22 distinct themed sections throughout the property.

Professor Han San-kyung from Sahmyook University established this garden in 1996 after purchasing and transforming a barren stone lot in 1994.

The garden's name derives from Korea's traditional designation as the Land of Morning Calm and incorporates Korean gardening principles in its design.

The garden hosts seasonal events throughout the year, with spring cherry blossoms, summer hydrangeas, autumn chrysanthemums, and winter light installations.

The Millennium Juniper, a thousand-year-old tree, stands among the garden's collection of native Korean plants and themed gardens.
