About Maui Nui Botanical Gardens

Maui Nui Botanical Gardens works to protect the native plants of Maui Nui and the cultural heritage tied to them. The garden partners with schools, hālau, and community groups, and it hires local practitioners who teach traditional Hawaiian arts. Visitors can explore the plant collection, learn which native plants suit their own yards, and see water-conserving landscaping such as xeriscaping. The site is about five acres and was formerly called the Maui Zoological and Botanical Gardens.
