Beautiful Bird of Paradise plant

700 year old terracing and a replica of a traditional Hawaiian house built on an original footprint.

Taro was the most important crop. Water was diverted from the Limahuli stream via canals.

In addition to native plants and plants brought by the original Hawaiians in their canoes, the garden also has plants introduced during the plantation era. There were several gorgeous hibiscus.
