Autumn in Korea Reveals the Quiet Art of Gardening Renewal
As the seasons shift, Koreans have long observed the quiet rhythms of nature—each phase bringing its own lessons. Garden designer Oh Kyung-ah, CEO of OhGardens, understands this cycle well. Her own garden, once choked with summer weeds and reeds, returned to order by autumn, proving that renewal follows even the most unruly growth.
Autumn in Korea signals more than just falling leaves. It marks the start of a new gardening cycle, a time for planning next year’s blooms and preparing for spring. Nurseries and gardeners stay busy during this window, as the period after leaves drop—but before the ground freezes—is ideal for transplanting trees.
The changing seasons offer a clear lesson in patience and preparation. Gardeners like Oh Kyung-ah use autumn to reset, ensuring future growth. For many Koreans, this cycle is a familiar comfort—a reminder that renewal is always part of the process.
