Outdoor Building / AMOREPACIFIC Botanic Garden

• AMORE PACIFIC is a global company that provides a 'culture of beauty' through cosmetics. In the Gajang Industrial Complex in Osan-si, Gyeonggi-do resides AMORE PACIFIC BEAUTY PARK, producing Amorepacific's main products.
  
  This factory, completed in 2012, used the front space to create a small room with the theme of plants, which are raw materials for cosmetics. The small plant space, which received significant attention and love from people, was reorganized into a ‘botanical garden’ in 2019 and reborn as a plant culture space open to citizens.
  
  'AMORE PACIFIC BOTANIC GARDEN' is a themed garden decorated with various plants that are raw materials for cosmetics with a heart to respect plants' functional and aesthetic values. This Botanical Garden is an educational space where you can explore the uses of plants based on the story of Amorepacific and plants, a laboratory and a place for a social contribution that studies the efficacy of plants, and professionally collects, manages, and preserves future plants resources.
  
  The Botanical Garden is divided into two areas, the MATERIAL area with the theme of raw plants and the CLIMATE area considering the regional climate. There are about 1,300 plants grown in the garden, and you can look around plants used directly in the products produced by Amorepacific and plants used as traditional medicines in the East and the West.
