Maui Nui Botanical Gardens

Maui Nui Botanical Gardens Review

The fascinating plants grown on these 7 acres are representative of precontact Hawaii. Both native and Polynesian-introduced species are cultivated—including Hawaiian bananas, varieties of sweet potatoes and sugarcane, native poppies, hibiscus, and anapanapa, a plant that makes a natural shampoo when rubbed between your hands. Ethnobotany tours and presentations are offered on occasion.

    From the fragrant ginger flowers to the towering rainbow eucalptus trees, there is much to see. If you are someone who notices the foliage and want to know the names of everything green, this is the place.
