South Korea's southwestern city of Suncheon was selected to host the International Garden Expo in 2013 that would feature gardens and horticulture products from around the world.
The 29-member International Organization of Horticulture Producers unanimously voted for Suncheon, 415 km southwest of Seoul, as the venue for the expo in an assembly meeting held in Spain, officials said.
The exhibition will be held for six months from April to October in 2013 in Suncheon and its adjacent bay area, where a space of 152 hectares is set for developing green space.
Actually I've been meaning to post on Suncheon's ambitions for the 2013 International Garden Expo (2013년국제정원박람회) for about a year now, but never got around to it. The editor at the Korea Times, back when I wrote for them, contacted me and said that someone with the government was interested my ideas for getting the word out about it in English, but I never heard anything further.
