SEOUL, June 19 (AJP) - The 10th Seoul International Garden Show is now open at Boramae Park, offering a vibrant display of horticulture and design through Oct. 20. As in previous years, admission to the exhibition remains free.

While Boramae Park itself is accessible into the evening, illuminated by special lighting, dedicated installations and experience booths operate from noon to 7 p.m.

This year's show has seen a notable surge in young visitors, a trend largely attributed to the popularity of the "Metamong Garden." This pop-up exhibition features a walking path themed around Ditto, the popular Pokemon character.

The path is adorned with various Ditto figures, complemented by purple hydrangeas and wisteria, creating what organizers and visitors alike describe as an ideal setting for photographs. The blend of recognizable characters and purple-hued flora appears to be a significant draw for a younger demographic.

Boramae Park is readily accessible via several subway stations, including Boramae, Boramae Park, Boramae Hospital and Sindaebang stations, as well as numerous bus connections.
