Cultural Context
Traditional Korean garden design (한국 정원, Hanguk jeongwon) is deeply rooted in philosophical principles, emphasizing harmony with nature and often incorporating natural elements like rocks, water, and native plants with minimal artificial intervention. Unlike some highly manicured Western gardens, Korean gardens often aim for a more 'natural' or 'wild' aesthetic, reflecting Taoist and Buddhist influences. Famous examples include the Secret Garden (후원, Huwon) at Changdeokgung Palace. Modern Korean garden design often blends these traditional aesthetics with contemporary trends, especially visible in stylish cafes and public parks.
