I love parks, forests, conservatories and arboretums so when I saw there was one in Daegu I was pretty excited to go. Since it was kind of far away from where we were we decided to go there first and then work our way back.
The Daegu Arboretum is free and was really popular with families and picnickers when we went. We were barely in when all the side walk was covered with blankets and people sitting and children playing while ants tried to make off with their food. There are over 1000 species in the arboretum including several green houses and a couple of museums (that are mostly in Korean and we didn’t find them particularly interesting). The space of the Daegu Arboretum use to be a landfill and is now considered a good example of ecosystem restoration and it’s pretty. There weren’t a ton of flowers in bloom when we visited and a lot of things were vastly overgrown and the signage was limited. There were specific things we wanted to see like the herb garden or the bog garden but not many signs to point us in the direction of any of these, so we just had to guess. My favorite part of the garden was the giant cacti house in a beautiful green house but a bit dangerous, since like a lot of things throughout the arboretum the cacti were overgrown and spilling into the walkway. So careful where you walk.
The arboretum is closed on Mondays, not particularly exciting during winter, and is open year round from 9 am until 6/7pm.
lots of beautiful butterflies

What’s better than a festering pile of waste? A park, of course! The Daegu Arboretum used to be a landfill and now its a quaint park with many types of plant life to suit your aesthetic needs. This is a beautiful place to visit in beautiful fall weather. It’s on the outskirts of Daegu so plan transportation accordingly. It was a bitch to get a cab on the way back into town.

Abstract:
On a hot day last month, my husband and I happened upon a hidden oasis in Daegu, Korea: the Daegu Arboretum. We strolled through the park, which featured 230,000 square meters of gardens and greenhouses, including a cactus greenhouse, a bog garden, an herb garden and a picnic area. It was bustling with children and adults alike, all enjoying the space and their ability to connect more closely with nature.
