This is a small botanical garden near Chinatown. It is an urban gem that you can enjoy sampling some Hawaiian flora. Unfortunately while we were visiting, we had to listen to the constant lawnmower noise. A nice little oasis to visit while you are visiting surrounding tourist spots!

We were in the area or it would have been a big disappointment. Very few flowers, just a couple of butterflies. The Quipo tree was favorite attraction. Several feet on circumference and tall!

This is a pretty small garden but does show many types of palms, prehistoric cycads and a few orchids. In addition there are many economic plants like coffee, cocoa, tarot, spices and herbs. Very peaceful outdoor setting but fine for families with children

Loved the greenhouse with the orchids! Was excited that the Corpse Flower was blooming during our visit. A knowledgeable volunteer was able to share much fascinating information. Some of the trees on the grounds are amazing. Carry water ... it can get hot and muggy!

I visited on a Sunday afternoon and there few people. It is unique in many ways: private off-street parking lot, shade, knowledgeable staff, beautiful specimen of plants and interesting history.
