One of the best resources for local gardeners on island, the center provides visual displays, and demonstrations of what can be grown in the islands. It is the headquarters for the O’ahu Master Gardeners, who offer frequent workshops on a variety of gardening topics. Home gardeners can come once a week to ask the master gardeners questions, you’ll have to check the website to find out the details. You can also volunteer on a regular basis at the various gardens on site.

A great place to bring kids for a free walk through a nicely decorated garden. When we went there was a free scavenger hunt for the kids you can pick up when you sign in. Lots of kids were having fun running around checking off everything on their lists as we walked around.

There is so much to explore in this garden. I never realized the variety of plants that can thrive in our local urban environment. I pass this garden everyday and always wondered about it while on the freeway. I finally had the chance to go and it did not disappoint. Yes, some things are not as accessible because they are renovating. There's also some areas that need a little more care. However, access to the garden is free and is largely maintained by volunteers. When I see the volume of work to be done, I am amazed at the amount of time and dedication that is lovingly given to this center. Stop by and take a stroll through the gardens and smell the flowers. It does get hot and some of the areas are not even, so you may want to wear shoes and bring an umbrella. I forgot, but did just fine with my slippers and a piece of paper to shade my head. Just be aware of the visiting hours.

Another hidden Gem, a beautiful garden where you can learn about plants and the tight way to care for them. I got a short tour of the herb and medicinal herb garden. I was also given seeds to start my own herbs from India. They ate part of the University of Hawaii. They are looking for volunteers if you want to get your hands dirty. Give them a visit
