Hanbat Arboretum

Hanbat Arboretum is a botanical garden in Daejeon organized into themed sections with both native Korean plants and species from around the world. Each area groups plants by their geographical origins and growing regions.

The city established Hanbat Arboretum in 2008 to create spaces for education and plant research. The project grew from a commitment to protect and share botanical resources with the community.

The name Hanbat comes from an ancient word for Daejeon and connects this modern botanical space to the region's past. Walking through the gardens, you can feel this link to local heritage.

The grounds have accessible pathways throughout and information centers where you can pick up maps and details about the plants. The wide paths make it easy to explore at your own pace regardless of the season.

Each garden section holds specialized plant collections that support research projects done with local science institutions. This active research work makes the place more than just a garden - it functions as a working research center.
