The April 15 Children’s Flower Garden, which stands opposite the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren’s Palace, recently underwent renovation.
The flower garden was originally built as an extracurricular training base for fostering the love for the nature and giving ample knowledge on different plants and forests among schoolchildren in October 33 years ago.
“Covering an area of 16 hectares, the flower garden has 12 700 trees of good species, including zelkova and rose, and 55 000 flowering plants and conditions for cultural and leisure activities, so it has been transformed into a flower garden where all kinds of flowers grow,” said Kim Kwang Myong, staffer of the flower garden.
In particular, its plant exhibition hall and dancing fountain underwent a complete change.
Divided into general, tropical, temperate and arctic plant halls, the plant exhibition hall has put on display 300-odd species of plants among about 350 000 plant species growing on the earth.
At the general plant hall, there are dozens of species of plants including pine, magnolia, azalea and Cissus rhombifolia.
Visitors can see multimedia presentations on the characteristics of plants, while being briefed on the biological features of specific plants growing in the tropical, temperate and polar plant halls and various other common sense problems, guided by a robot in the shape of a beautiful maiden lecturer.
According to Kim Kwang Myong, since the inauguration of the flower garden which was renovated in mid-July, not only students but also adults have frequented there.
Dancing fountain pools were refashioned to meet the modern sense of beauty and different shapes of fountain facilities were newly installed.
The dancing fountain in which streams of water change into different heights and shapes to the tune of music coming from the acoustic equipment adds pleasure, optimism and delight to the viewers.
The flower garden is fully equipped with the conditions for cultural and leisure activities.
Students can play basketball, volleyball and badminton games at courts, and resting places and flower beds nestle in different sections. Visitors can enjoy boating in a lake where an artificial waterfall falls from the height of eight metres.
The three-storey general service building consisting of the folk game hall and video games room and over ten other buildings such as a soft drink service building, flower shop and flower production greenhouse were newly built to add beauty to scenery to the flower garden.
When darkness sets in, the nocturnal view of the flower garden arouses elegant and conspicuous emotion thanks to the various shapes and colours of decorative lighting.
Many students and working people visit the April 15 Children’s Flower Garden every day.
