of a seed separated from a tree grows into a tree again? A journey of a seed to reach the unreached always begins with a bold decision. A blade of grass, a flower and a tree all embody an attitude for life that helps us to<br \/>\n\t\tlook into ourselves. There is one person who carefully listened to these stories of plants to achieve his own dreams.<\/p>\n<p>In 1960, a massive violet lavender field the late founder of Amorepacific Suh Sung-whan experienced during an inspection trip to Europe further reinforced his belief in the power of plants. He began his business with flowers and plants and dreamed<br \/>\n\t\tof introducing the most Korean cosmetic products, serving tea that represents Korea, and even more, opening a botanic garden to offer a place to rest. These dreams are still ongoing within us.<br \/>\n\t\t<br \/>\nAfter all, plants have been the source of a forest called Amorepacific.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deco2\">The [Garden of Choices] project believes in the infinite value and power of plants and aims to look back on the path Amorepacific has walked and capture the bold choices and journeys it has taken. We hope that all of us who are struggling every day<br \/>\n\t\t\tin our own place to make difficult decisions, whether big or small, can find the courage to move forward.<br \/>\n\t\t\t<br class=\"onlyM\"><br \/>\n<br class=\"onlyM\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/c8a6a5fe-1e09-4dc7-a4e8-baa1f8c57709.jpg\" class=\"onlyW deco3\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/c8a6a5fe-1e09-4dc7-a4e8-baa1f8c57709.jpg\" class=\"onlyM\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\"> This part reveals the second story of our first interviewee, landscape architect Jung Young-sun, president of Seo-Ahn Total Landscape.

Her title of being the first as a Korean landscape architect<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tand female landscape architect shows how she has taken bold steps to take on challenges for her dreams. From the very early days after resigning from her job as a professor and establishing Seo-Ahn Total Landscape, landscape architect Jung Young-sun<br \/>\n\t\t\t\thas worked on various projects with many companies, especially with Amorepacific. From Osan Botanical Garden to Jeju Osulloc Teastone, Innisfree Jeju House and Amorepacific\u2019s Headquarters in Seoul, the landscape design of Amorepacific\u2019s major spaces<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tknown to be well harmonized with nature have all passed through her hands. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_area position_left\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/06024f12-feeb-4ef2-a805-fc71ced5c630.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"img_desc\">Jung Young-sun looking at the blueprint of<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br \/>\nAmorepacific Botanical Garden\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"onlyM\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/f143916e-6405-4c08-befd-a69dec3cca8e.png\" class=\"\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_img_box inner50\">\n<div class=\"text_area\">\n<br class=\"onlyW\"><br \/>\n<br class=\"onlyW\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">You have collaborated with various companies, but especially with Amorepacific. What did you feel as a landscape architect while working with Amorepacific?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nSince Amorepacific is a company that started with flowers and plants, it almost seems like it was god\u2019s will for me to work with Amorepacific (laugh). I really enjoyed working on the projects. I know very well that Amorepacific is deeply interested<br \/>\n\t\t\tin plants such as medicinal herbs, cosmetics ingredients and green tea.<br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"green fw600\">I believe one of the most important legacies out of the countless legacies Jangwon left behind was his dream for a \u201cbotanical garden\u201d. It seems like his sincerity towards plants became the solid foundation for Amorepacific today.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_area inner50\" style=\"margin-right:0;text-align:center;\">\n<div style=\"width:300px;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/243af936-af7c-4883-8080-f6d1cec552f3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"img_desc\">Hand drawn and colored blueprint of<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br \/>\nAmorepacific Botanical Garden by Jung Young-sun\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\">\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">Can you tell us more about Jangwon? I&#8217;m also curious about the level of social interest towards nature at the time. It seems like there wasn\u2019t much awareness around the relationship between nature and humans back then. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nAt the time, Korean entrepreneurs including Jangwon poured their heart and soul into making our country greener, even paying out of their own pockets. They spread awareness about the importance of planting trees to their employees and the public. If<br \/>\n\t\tit weren\u2019t for their efforts, we wouldn\u2019t have the lush, beautiful landscape we see today. There weren\u2019t many trees at the time even though Korea was a mountainous country, and the continuous war had ravaged most of the existing trees to make matters<br \/>\n\t\tworse. Trees were being cut down to be used as firewood during the war-battered times since briquettes weren\u2019t around back then. Despite efforts to plant trees on one side whilst cutting them down on the other, it was a very difficult time to make the<br \/>\n\t\tcountry greener.\n\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\">\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">What role did Jangwon play during such times?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_img_box\">\n<div> The government worked hard on their part, hosting Arbor Day events and such. But Jangwon was a true pioneer who had a profound interest in plants and recognized the importance of planting trees, leading by example. The foundation he created back then<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tis nothing short of incredible today. The foundation he created, and seedlings he planted have all grown fully and densely.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"green fw600\">When I look at how Amorepacific has nurtured plants for all this time, it makes me think that Amorepacific\u2019s unwavering calling has always been to believe in the infinite power of nature and plants and to imbue the world with beauty that blossoms<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tfrom such power. I think such heritage has continued from the founding ideology of Jangwon.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_area inner50\" style=\"margin-right:0;text-align:center;\">\n<br class=\"onlyW\"><br \/>\n<br class=\"onlyW\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"width:300px\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/ca7ab3f3-d44f-4f91-8d53-f740af0486e2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"img_desc\">The late founder Jangwon Suh Sung-whan<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/>\nin the tea fields of Jeju\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\">\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">One of the main anecdotes that reveal Jangwon\u2019s love for plants and visionary mind is the story of cultivating tea fields in Jeju Island. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nMany people know that there\u2019s green tea in Hadong, and that it grows best there. Although Jeju\u2019s climate and soil are suitable for growing tea, nobody really dared to cultivate green tea in Hadong because the soil was so barren. But Jangwon achieved<br \/>\n\t\tthat. Can you imagine just how much effort he put in to cultivate those fields? It shows his challenger spirit. If you visit Osulloc today, you have to stand in a never-ending line just to get in. He made cosmetics, snacks and even icecream out of green<br \/>\n\t\ttea. He looked ahead of the times, straying away from the narrow mindset that green tea must only be drunk as tea.<br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"green fw600\">.

It\u2019s very much loved by Amorepacific employees.&nbsp;And what\u2019s the story behind the Su(water, \u6c34) space in the Amore Garden on the 5th floor? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_img_box\">\n<div> I heard about plans to create a garden when the famous British architect David Chipperfield and other globally renowned architects were talking about the design of the building. As I thought this over whilst hearing them talk, I realized that the 5th<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tfloor of the headquarters building would play a more important role than the greenery along the roads.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"fw600\">I figured that Amorepacific employees would spend more time and rest more on the 5th floor compared to the 1st floor, which is why I thought it would be a good idea to create a beautiful space there. That is how the Amore Garden Su(water) space came<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tabout. I also made a pond so people could fully relax. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_area inner50\" style=\"margin-right:0;text-align:center;\">\n<div style=\"width:320px;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/0562d678-ca0c-4eca-9c54-407c73c2ee35.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"img_desc\">The process of creating Amore Garden on the 5th floor of Amorepacific headquarters <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\">\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">What was your biggest concern when creating Amore Garden? And how did you decorate the courtyard?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nDuring construction, I was worried that the sun wouldn\u2019t really reach the 5th floor. So during the early stages of construction, I went ahead and got some Mountain Korean maples which grow well in the shade. It\u2019s difficult to get bigger trees that<br \/>\n\t\tare shaped beautifully if you don\u2019t get them ahead of time, and you end up with ones looking like chopsticks. I searched across the country to find the best Mountain Korean maples. During the 5~6 years it took to complete construction, I finished potting<br \/>\n\t\tthe trees in advance. When you do this and plant the trees in a new garden, it instantly makes the garden look mature. I also planted trees that live in higher altitudes on the upper floor (11th floor) and plants that lived in even higher mountains<br \/>\n\t\ton a floor higher than that (17th floor) so that people could feel the subtle changes in scenery according to differences in heights.\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_area inner50\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.stories.amorepacific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/contents\/45d41712-644c-4a24-b34b-5b27a3e653cc.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"img_desc\">Amorepacific\u2019s Amore Garden, present<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\">\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">Out of all the AMOREPACEFIC projects you\u2019ve worked on, which one is closest to your heart?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nI really can\u2019t choose if you put it that way.(laugh) In a sense, all of them are like my babies I need to look after.

That\u2019s why he was so focused on looking after plants. Jangwon\u2019s profound interest in plants led to the cultivation of tea fields in Jeju Island<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tand the creation of diverse tea cultures to enjoy green tea. And now, his dream has been passed on to Amorepacific, which continues to blossom.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"green fw600\">Even when everyone dissuaded him and there weren\u2019t any immediate profits to reap, Jangwon\u2019s great courage, devotion and wisdom to think ahead ultimately led to the creation of Jeju Island tea fields, and such values became the fertile soil that helped<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tAmorepacific flourish. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_area inner50\">\n<div class=\"question_box\">\n<p class=\"text fw600 c111\">If Jangwon was alive today, what would you want to say to him?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThe importance and value of plants were planted in Amorepacific because of Jangwon.
