From 25 April to 11 May, International Horticulture Goyang Korea 2025 (IHGK25) will transform Ilsan Lake Park into a vibrant hub for global horticulture. Officially approved by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), this 17-day festival anticipates welcoming 700,000 visitors, 25 participating nations, and over 200 exhibitors.

Organised by the Goyang International Flower Foundation, the event blends Korea’s rich horticultural heritage with global creativity, offering a joyful and immersive experience that reflects the spirit of springtime renewal and connection through the theme: “Flower, Fantasy, and Fragrance.”

For international growers, wholesalers, exporters, and horticultural technology firms, IHGK25 offers a unique opportunity to explore emerging trends, build business partnerships, and access the fast-growing South Korean market. From smart farming and urban greening to floriculture, processed botanical goods, and rare plant varieties, the event spans the full spectrum of horticulture.

The Industrial Exhibition Hall will provide an essential B2B platform with national pavilions, buyer engagement programmes, and showcases of innovation. Outdoors, IHGK25 will also feature themed gardens, artistic installations, and a major local flower market, positioning Korea’s floriculture scene within a broader international context of quality, design, and creativity.

Read the full feature in the latest (April 2025) issue of FloraCulture International, page 48, for an in-depth look at how IHGK25 is helping shape the future of global horticulture and details on how your business can get involved.
