Flower Lover Garden

Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden gem? High on a hillside in northern Seoul, the Flower Lover Garden, also known as Buramsan Butterfly Garden, awaits. This isn’t just any garden. It’s a vibrant tapestry of azaleas, a breathtaking spectacle that blankets the mountainside in a stunning light purple hue. Opened in 2018, the Flower Lover Garden was designed as both a nature experience and a learning center. While the azaleas steal the show in spring, the garden offers beauty year-round. A greenhouse, kept at a balmy 25 degrees Celsius, houses hundreds of butterflies. You can spot the swallowtail butterfly, the Indian fritillary, and the common tiger butterfly fluttering amongst the foliage. Inside, you’ll also find an aquatic cave, a nocturnal hall, and an insect learning center. Outside, near the greenhouse, a whimsical garden featuring butterfly and bug sculptures will delight visitors of all ages. As you ascend the hillside at Flower Lover Garden, a wooden boardwalk meanders through the heart of the azalea blooms. For a panoramic view, take the paths on either side that lead to the summit. From the top, you can fully appreciate the sheer number of azaleas cascading down the slope. Benches provide the perfect spot to relax and soak in the spring air. The Flower Lover Garden is tucked away from the bustling city streets, so be sure to pack some refreshments. It’s a tranquil escape, a place to reconnect with nature’s vibrant beauty.
