There was a young man who went to a university. One day, he went on a school field trip with his friends. Unfortunately, he fell off a cliff and got completely paralyzed due to a serious spine injury. Beside this young man, who was condemned to the cruel fate of a lifetime of being unable to move, was his father whose heart was torn by the thought of his son being left alone when he died. Thus, the father began to turn a hill in Hongseong-gun, Chuncheongnam-do into a garden, wishing that many people would visit his son. As the Korean style garden assumed the right shape, the son began to paint the picture he liked. The private arboretum dubbed “The Gallery in the Garden” is located in Maehyon-ri, Gwangcheon-eup, Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do whose landscape is not only a topic of conversation; the story of the family that tended the garden is also touching.
