The
gardens sit on the western slope of the Kohala Mountains above
the
Pacific Ocean. At present the gardens contain an expanding number
of plants. The garden boasts impressive ocean and mountain views.
Whether you are a "local" or a visitor, this is a wonderful
experience that should not be missed!
Put
on your good walking shoes and meander along mulched paths that
wind through the gardens. Around each corner you will
encounter a new scene of color and textures of the plants and
trees. Views are spectacular!
Bring
a lunch and sit at the picnic tables under the trees, relax, enjoy,
explore. Our plants are marked, and we provide a booklet filled
with the names and descriptions.
