Oedo is an island of Geoje city, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. It is a marine western-style botanical garden in Hallyeohaesang National Park, built by Lee Chang-ho and his wife when they settled on the island in 1969. == History == In the past, Oedo was just a barren island made of rocks. There were no facilities for electricity and telephone because of its isolated location. Only eight households lived in Oedo. It was quite inconvenient to access the island because of the lack of a dock in early times after independence of Korea.〔외도관광〕 Mr. Lee and his wife, Choi Ho Suk, started creating the whole garden. At first, they grew tangerines and bred swine. However, that failed and the two came to think of building a botanical garden. In 1976, their plan was greenlighted with cultivating a land of 1601235 ft²(45,000 pyeong), growing rare plant species such as Agave americana, Rose of Sunshine, windmill palms, and C. peruvianus (a kind of cactus). Oedo has a coastal climate with mild and a bit subtropical weather.〔(외도관광 )〕 Choi Ho Suk has collected a great deal of data about the world's botanical gardens and studied landscaping, architecture, and arbors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oedo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
