SEOUL, South Korea — Seoul Botanic Park has transformed its autumn garden into a romantic seasonal attraction, combining sweeping ornamental grasses, colorful flowers and wedding-themed photo zones with an unusual showcase of endangered and coastal plants.
The park’s Theme Garden is hosting “Pamfare, Invitation Sent by Wind” through November 8, turning the autumn landscape into a destination designed for visitors looking for seasonal scenery and memorable photographs.
The exhibition takes its name from a combination of “Pampas” and “fanfare,” reflecting both the movement of ornamental grasses in the autumn wind and the celebratory atmosphere of the garden.
Among the highlights are five grass varieties that had not previously been displayed at the garden, including Pampas grass and pink muhly grass. They have been arranged alongside existing ornamental grasses to create a changing landscape of textures and colors.
The autumn display is further enhanced by 260 specimens of statice and Japanese anemone, together with purple verbena and pink gaura.
A Garden Built for Wedding Photos
Romance is a major part of the exhibition.
The park has created four wedding-themed photo zones, including a Pampas-covered wedding arch, a small outdoor ceremony setting, a bridal waiting room decorated with grasses and flowers, and a Pampas-wing installation designed for children.
The result is a garden that doubles as an autumn photo destination, giving visitors the chance to capture wedding-style images against a backdrop of seasonal flowers and tall grasses.
Rare Plants Add a Conservation Twist
But the exhibition is about more than creating an Instagram-friendly autumn backdrop.
Seoul Botanic Park has also introduced 124 specimens representing 11 endangered plant species in its Forest Garden. The collection includes Amur monkshood, Chinese lizardtail and Seoul water-parsnip.
Another section features 457 specimens from 16 coastal plant species, including beach morning glory, Glehnia littoralis and sea parsley.
By placing these plants alongside the seasonal displays, the park is using the popular autumn exhibition to introduce visitors to native species and the importance of plant conservation.
Park director On Su-jin said the redesigned garden is intended to let visitors enjoy autumn scenery while naturally discovering the diversity and value of Korea’s plant life.
For visitors exploring Seoul this fall, the exhibition offers a combination that is difficult to miss: autumn flowers, Pampas grass, wedding-style photo settings and rare plants — all within one urban garden.
And as the Pampas grass moves with the autumn wind, Seoul Botanic Park is turning a seasonal garden into something more than a place to see fall colors — it has become a backdrop for romance, photography and a closer look at Korea’s threatened native flora.
