This study aims to identify key improvement factors in the implementation of the Garden Dream Project from the perspectives of green infrastructure and welfare services. Using Focus Group Interview (FGI) analysis, it identified key issues and characteristics in the design, construction, and management phases of the project and proposes improvement strategies based on these findings. The results showed that thematic clarity and site suitability were essntial in the garden design phase, with both being heavily influenced by the surrounding land use conditions. In terms of planting and facility design, the utility of existing trees and facilities within the site was found to be crucial. Due to seasonal constraints and limitations in plant species, thematic expressions in the gardens were mostly realized through facilities and objets. During the construction phase, the importance of selecting a site that enables the establishment of a suitable planting foundation and provides access to water and electricity was emphasized. In the management phase, garden maintenance was carried out by citizen gardeners, and there was a high demand for advanced training in ground cover plant care. This study holds significance in terms of providing rational improvement factors and suggesting ways to sustain green services in the planning, creation, and operation of the Garden Dream Project.
