Divine Garden, known locally as Suseng-won, is a specialized botanical park in Okcheon-gun dedicated to the study and preservation of aquatic plants. The park features an extensive collection of native Korean water lilies and diverse marshland vegetation across its outdoor and glasshouse facilities. Situated near the banks of the Geum River, the site serves as both an educational center and a recreational space for studying wetland ecosystems. The grounds incorporate walking paths that allow visitors to observe flowering plants throughout their various growth cycles.
