Yeongwol, Gangwon-do, 450m above sea level. If you climb up the mountainside, you will find a place filled with the scent of summer. It is the secret garden of the couple Im So-hyeon and Kim Young-mi. The husband, who is skilled enough to build a house himself, stacks stones, and the wife, who is good at gardening, plants flowers on the stone wall. The garden that the couple worked together to create is now filled with hydrangeas, the summer flower. 13 years ago, the couple settled in a mountain village in Yeongwol where they had no connection, and they have been living a self-sufficient life, doing all farming except rice farming in small amounts! The couple’s summers have become busier since the wife, Yeong-mi, started taking an interest in the garden 7 years ago. Rainy summers are the best days to transplant flowers, and although their bodies are busy tending to the garden, their hearts are infinitely light. People have been visiting, ignoring the summer rain, because they are captivated by the charm of the garden. They are participating in ‘Farm Gardening’, which Yeong-mi has been doing for 3 years. Time to learn gardening, cook together with the vegetables you grow, and share a meal, and enjoy summer in the couple's garden where your eyes and mind can rest. #KoreanTravel #Gangwon-doYeongwol #Gardening #FarmGarden #BuildingAHouse #Gardening #Lifestyle #SelfSufficiency
