The indoor plant exhibition “In Green” opens Wednesday at Seoul Botanic Park (서울식물원) and runs through December 31. It is being held at the park’s Garden Support Center (가든지원센터). The exhibition changes its theme each month to reflect how people live at home in different seasons. In October, it starts with the kitchen—the heart of the home—and transforms it into both a practical everyday space and a green space.

Background and context

The exhibition focuses on seeing plants as more than decorations for the living room or objects of a specialist hobby. On Su-jin, director of Seoul Botanic Park, said she hopes the exhibition will help people regard plants as natural companions in everyday spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms and balconies.

The changing monthly themes show that the places where people keep plants and the ways they live can vary across the home. The October kitchen exhibition takes an approach that considers plants alongside practical everyday spaces, rather than keeping them in a special area of their own.

What this news means

For people who grow plants, the exhibition may be an opportunity to reconsider where in the home they can keep them. In particular, by choosing the kitchen as its first theme, the exhibition suggests viewing plants as part of everyday living spaces, rather than limiting them to living-room decor.

For example, someone who usually keeps plants in the living room might use the exhibition as an opportunity to consider placing them in other spaces where they spend time, such as the kitchen or bedroom. However, the available information does not establish which plants or arrangements the exhibition recommends.
