Residents' Autonomy Council Conducts 'Cosmos Planting Volunteer Work' Near Jayeon-daero

The Yeongjong-dong Residents’ Autonomy Association (Chairman Lee Yoon-bae) of Jung-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City, conducted a ‘Cosmos Planting Volunteer Activity’ near the Jayeon-daero bus stop on August 3. This activity aimed to create a pleasant environment in Yeongjong-dong, and focused on planting cosmos in land where weeds were growing, to provide a better view for pedestrians.

In particular, this cosmos planting activity is expected to make a good first impression on tourists visiting Yeongjong Island as it will be carried out at the entrance of the road leading to Yeongjong Island.

Lee Yoon-bae, the head of the Yeongjong-dong Residents’ Autonomy Association, said, “This cosmos planting volunteer activity is also linked to the ‘Yeongjong-dong Flower Seedling Cultivation and Sharing’ project that the Residents’ Autonomy Association is promoting, and we plan to expand this type of flower planting activity in the future,” adding, “We will continue to work hard on volunteer activities to create a pleasant environment in Yeongjong-dong.”
