Considered to be the center of Korea’s floricultural industry, and located just an hour from Seoul, Goyang City welcomes the 12th Goyang Korea Flower Show, scheduled for April 16 – April 30, 2005. Vast landscapes, stunning flower arrangements and brilliant colors will provide a spectacle to be enjoyed by young and old. The festival is comprised of a combination of indoor and outdoor exhibition areas and provides both eye-pleasing floral displays, as well as educational exhibits.

Indoor exhibits will include a flower landscape hall, a flower idea goods hall, a rare flower exhibition, and a flower art hall all over a combined area of nearly 50,000 square feet. Outdoors brings still more floral displays, including artwork made of flowers and a flower street while myriad landscaped gardens and a topiary display round out the fascinating displays. Several participatory events are scheduled during the festival, including a flower design competition, a traditional flower arrangement contest, a floral painting contest, as well as several informative lectures.
