By reinforcing its global network with the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), the foundation designed the event by dividing the Horticulture Exhibition Hall into the Horticulture Exchange Hall and Horticulture Industry Hall.
The horticulture exchange hall promotes national institutes, foreign horticulture distribution agencies, and other organizations related to horticulture, showcasing rare and exotic plants as well as new species in and out of Korea.
The horticulture industry hall will display individual and group works of Korean garden artists and draw participation from horticulture producers and distribution technology companies at home and abroad. Furthermore, International Horticulture Goyang Korea will jointly host a flower demonstration event by excellent garden artists, the International Goyang Flower Forum, and other events.

We will do our best to establish ourselves as the best exhibition to lead the Korean flower industry from the front and support it from the back,” he added.
