The garden is still in the early stages of development, and do
to a poor economy, will probably be under construction for many
years. There are no restroom facilities, drinking fountains and other
visitor accommodation usually found in botanical gardens.
If you visit the garden, for your safety please wear walking
shoes and exercise caution on the unpaved roads and trails. Bicycles
and motor vehicles are not permitted and dogs are not allowed on the
grounds. A bottle of drinking water might be a good idea also. A two
mile loop trail leads visitors through a variety of dryland plant
collections from Hawai`i and around the world. The collections
grouped geographically are:
The Americas, Madagascar, Hawai`i, and Africa.
The collections include major plantings of, Cacti, Alluaudias,
Sanservierias, Baobabs, Aloes, Euphorbias, Adeniums and my favorite
Dryland Palms
