Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden
45-680 Luluku Rd, Kaneohe, HI 96744, USA
Four-hundred-acre flood-control garden of tropical forest and trails around a thirty-two-acre lake.
This guide to Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden in Honolulu follows how the US Army Corps of Engineers, sent to stop flooding in windward Oahu in the 1960s, ended up building a four-hundred-acre garden around a reservoir instead. It traces the artist Kaili Chun's four steel sculptures framing the Koolau peaks, and the plants gathered here from eight tropical regions. Look for the sculptures near the lake's edge as you walk the shoreline path.
