Gangdong-gu is the only autonomous area in the city to promote horticultural healing programs for low-income residents and expand social urban agriculture linked to welfare functions.
Lee Jung-hun, head of Gangdong-gu, said, "The 11th consecutive year of winning the Grand Prize through the efforts of local residents and employees is a valuable achievement."
