At the lavender garden of Gochang Cheongnongwon, a violet wave is currently surging in full bloom.

Cheongnongwon in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do, is now ablaze with a sea of lavender, reaching its peak slightly later than usual. The scent of lavender carried by the wind from the West Sea is so intoxicating that it leaves one dizzy. Against the backdrop of the violet waves, people are capturing life photos here and there, with flashes going off.

The lavender garden features photo spots scattered throughout. It is a perfect spot for affectionate couples to sit and leave behind memorable photos.

The 6th Gochang Cheongnongwon Lavender Festival is currently being held at Cheongnongwon. The 20,000-pyeong (approx. 66,000 square meters) Cheongnongwon is dominated by English lavender. English lavender is known as an herb with excellent stress-relieving and calming effects.

Hydrangeas are blooming around the lavender garden, creating a striking color contrast.

The admission fee is 5,000 won, with free entry for elementary school students and below. The peak lavender season this year is expected to continue for another two to three weeks.

Pillows made from lavender grown at Cheongnongwon are said to aid in deep sleep.
