Maui Nui Botanical Gardens

Gardens / Arboretums, Central Maui

User Rating: **** 4.2

Fodor's Review:

The fascinating plants grown here are representative of pre-contact Hawaii. Both native and Polynesian-introduced species are cultivated -- including ice-cream 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.

Nice nature walk in uniquely Hawaiian plants

Posted by reluctant_adventurer from Missouri on 3/8/08

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.
