Hwaseong self-checkout florist, ₩50,000 bouquet: Jeongjik Farm Flower

For birthdays or anniversaries I usually book a flower shop in advance, but this time I needed flowers a bit last-minute. While looking for a place I could use even late at night, I found Jeongjik Farm Flower (정직팜플라워). Since this was for a gift, I picked out a bouquet that wasn't too much but would still feel good to receive.

How does a 24-hour unstaffed flower shop actually work?

Jeongjik Farm Flower has no staff on site, 24 hours a day, so you do everything yourself: card payment → entry → pick flowers → water treatment. It felt a bit unfamiliar before I actually visited, but once I was there the steps weren't hard at all.

Unlike a regular flower shop with staff on hand, the most convenient part was being able to visit whenever I wanted and pick the flowers myself. It seemed especially useful for when you suddenly need flowers late at night.

Using Jeongjik Farm Flower with no staff on site: the four steps

Step 1: Pay by card at the door

At Jeongjik Farm Flower, you first choose the flowers you want, then pay by card following the posted instructions. I worried payment might be complicated at an unstaffed shop, but following the guide made it simpler than expected.

The bouquet I chose this time was ₩50,000. Rather than comparing every price one by one, I liked being able to pick the bouquet I wanted within my own budget. There was a range of price points ready, so it seemed easy to choose depending on the occasion.

I assumed an unstaffed flower shop would just have flowers sitting out randomly, but they were arranged much more neatly than I expected, so it was nice to take my time looking.

Step 2: Choosing the flowers — checking petals and stems

For this order I asked for something bright but not too overwhelming. With fresh flowers, looking pretty matters, but freshness is really what you worry about most.

So while picking the bouquet, I looked closely at the petal edges and leaf condition. The flowers I chose had clean petals overall, and the stems felt firm rather than limp. The leaves also looked clean without much damage, which I liked. I'm not exactly a flower expert so I can't judge professionally, but being able to check the condition with my own eyes before choosing was a plus.

Step 3: Doing the water treatment yourself

After choosing the flowers, you also do the water treatment yourself following the instructions. Since fresh flowers need proper water care, there's a step to keep them from drying out before you take them home. At first I wondered if I'd really have to do this myself too, but following the guide made it not too difficult. Being unstaffed, there are parts you have to handle on your own, but the process itself is simple, so I got used to it quickly.

Flowers managed by an owner with 19 years of experience

One thing that stood out while looking into Jeongjik Farm Flower was that the owner has 19 years of experience working with flowers.

With an unstaffed flower shop, you might wonder whether the flowers are actually being cared for properly, but I was told the owner manages the flowers personally.

Even with the same fresh flowers, condition can really vary depending on how they're managed. Knowing that freshness and stem condition are being carefully looked after gave me a bit more confidence.

A gift alone felt a little plain, so I added a bouquet, and once I put them together the whole mood really changed. Just adding one bouquet made the gift look much more generous, and I think the person receiving it would be pleased too. Being able to use it 24 hours was especially convenient — it means you can get flowers ready even on a day it's hard to time a visit. It seems quite useful if you get off work late or suddenly need flowers.

Since the selection can change depending on the season or stock, it's a good idea to ask ahead if you have a specific flower in mind.

On the other hand, if you don't have a particular flower set in mind, it's also fine to just look at what's in the shop and pick whatever you like.

Who is this Byeongjeom flower shop best for?

• Anyone who needs to prepare flowers suddenly, like I did
• Anyone looking for flowers late at night after work
• Anyone who wants to see the flowers in person and take their time choosing

If you're looking for a Byeongjeom flower shop, this is a good one to check out, and if you need flowers in Dongtan or nearby areas, delivery is also available, so it's worth looking into.

Jeongjik Farm Flower can deliver not just to Byeongjeom but also to Dongtan, Bongdam, Jeongnam, Sema, Osan, and Suwon. If you don't have time to visit in person, being able to use delivery is another convenient part.
