Greenhouses to visit in South Korea

The Verrière atlas lists 77 greenhouses in South Korea, built between 1909 and 2025.

South Korea has built most of its greenhouses since the mid-1980s, often playing with form: Yeomiji's glass sunflower on Jeju, Seoul Botanic Park's inverted saucer, opened in 2019, the iris petals of Sejong National Arboretum and Geoje's Jungle Dome, the country's largest glass dome. Seocheon's Ecorium leads from the tropics to the desert and the penguins of Antarctica. One exception goes back much further: the Daeonsil at Seoul's Changgyeonggung Palace, dating from 1909, the first Western-style greenhouse built in Korea.

77Greenhouses
