In the past decade horticulture in Korea has made great progress and the standard of living in Korea has improved.  According to the KABG (Korean Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta) there are 29 institutions registered to conserve Korean native plants as well as those of other countries under the rules of Ex-site and In-site.

 As it has been in the past, Chollipo not only has encouraged people to love plants but it has contributed many plants annually through the Index Seminum within and outside of Korea.  Now we are able to look back 40 years and reflect on our past.  We will extend our work with new projects such as public education, a training program, and publishing a plant guide book beginning this year and completing the project next year.  We hope the general public and students are willing to participate with  our plant education program and the book is received well.

 We are still trying to keep our arboretum looking good all year around and invite
members to come and enjoy the beauty that Chollipo offers with its peaceful nature.

 We are expecting spring blossoms with fantastic color matches, especially the Magnolias that bloom in April.

 We have paid great attention to the development of our homepage.  You can look at our visual arboretum in 4 seasons and get some plant information as well as the latest news of Chollipo.  We are open for any comments and suggestions that you might have which will be helpful for an even better future of Chollipo.  

 We hope that anyone who visits our web site will have great fun looking at it and enjoy the digital arboretum of Chollipo.
