Why go

National DMZ Native Plants Garden is a Korean government-run botanical garden on the southern edge of the DMZ, dedicated specifically to Korean native plant species — many of which survive in unusually pristine condition in the DMZ thanks to decades of restricted human access. The garden documents Korean biodiversity, runs research programs, and offers public exhibitions and walking circuits. For travelers serious about Korean ecology and the unique conservation context of the DMZ, this garden is one of the cleaner single anchors. Pair with broader DMZ-area trips for a layered border-region day.
