Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden Review

Easy to drive by on the twisting two-lane highway, this garden offers a wealth of Hawaiian ethnobotanical traditions. On 12 acres, 250 types of plants are grown that were typical in an early Hawaiian ahupuaa, the usually pie-shaped land divisions that ran from the mountains to the sea. The new visitor center, now on the south side of the garden, includes a gift shop. The garden is 12 mi south of Kailua-Kona, just past mile marker 110, across from the Manago Hotel. Call for information on guided tours.

    We have never taken the tour, but we never miss visiting here. We stock up on on Kona and Peaberry Coffee. An extra bonus is picking fruit and avocados from the tree for purchase. My favorite is their Chocolate covered peaberries.
