Various forest products are sold from food to furniture. On the right side upon entering the supply store are wooden room dividers, picnic tables and Korean-style foldable dining tables of different sizes. There are some wooden pillows, as well as wooden chips used as pillow fillers. If you’re looking for some Korean wooden things for the kitchen like spatulas and rice spoons, I found mine there. 

But that is not all. There’s an area for food products too. I found a shelf full of different dried stems, barks, roots and more.  Think of natural medicinal teas sourced from the forest like wormwood or maybe some of them as flavorings for the cooking in the kitchen. I saw a more commonly available sesame oil but a walnut oil is something new for me.  

Aside from those direct forest products, there are also dried mushrooms and bee products like pollen and honey. It’s just amazing how much good we get from the trees, right? 

But of course! The main thing that drew me there in the first place were the plants. It is a garden center after all. The variety of plants that they sell includes local and imported ornamental plants. There were also a few berries and herbs. 

Since it is still summer, the outdoor area with some hydrangeas was in full bloom with colors from the flowers and leaves. Yes, leaves. These blue leaves are from a plant called festuca glauca or Elijah Blue. 

The indoor nursery had more interesting things to see and buy, of course. Be warned that it might take an extra power to resist buying more than what you came for in the first place. A very eye-catching soft monkey tail cactus (hildewintera colademononis) will be one of the first things that you will see at the entrance. You will suddenly feel transported to a different place — to Bolivia possibly. Do you want to guess how much this premium cactus cost here in Korea? Just a whopping 3M won!!! 

No worries, there are a lot of other cactus available that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. On the right side of the entrance is the succulents corner. I would not attempt to even name one anymore but these can be a delight for those who prefer the seemingly low-maintenance plant favorite. 

So much for the cacti! Let’s check out what else to find inside. There are a few herbs like the ubiquitous sweet basil, lavender, and rosemary. I also saw a couple of pots of kalamansi with a few fruits. Mostly are ornamental like hostas, mandevillas, hydrangeas, marian, dinema plants and more.  See for yourself if you can name them all because I obviously can’t. 😀

The building has a gardening supplies store on the first floor of the main building near the parking lot.  You can find vegetable and flower seeds the minute you step into the store. They also sell soil, solid fertilizer balls and liquid fertilizers for your plant care.

If you are keen on decorating your garden, gardening supplies like sphagnum moss, jute tape, pebbles, and landscaping supplies are also available. But if you want to feel the rustic countryside or outdoor-style cooking, I also spotted a couple of stoves and grills ready to be fueled with wood or charcoal.

There were also some fancy tools to make your gardening work a little bit easier like the Korean “homi.” This special Korean planting tool is pretty unique and does its job pretty well. You can use this in simple gardening jobs or backbreaking one like digging up sweet potatoes in the fall.

The pots for sale are in a different place next to the nursery. There are decorative ceramic pots and of different sizes to choose from.
