We are building an educational garden primarily consisting of native Hawaiian coastal plants. The garden will be used as a learning tool for people who are interested in learning about Hawaiian coastal plants, special adaptations they have, cultural significance, traditional uses, and how coastal plants are important in our island environment. We rely on volunteers to help build, maintain and interpret the garden.
