Sejong National Arboretum

The Sejong National Arboretum, designed as the first urban arboretum in Korea, was built adjacent to the Sejong Government Complex, where several government ministries are located. It is largely divided into three sections: the community program center, the educational center, and the garden exhibition center. Each center consists of different themed gardens that exhibit a variety of plant species that align with the center's purpose.
