Kaha Garden
|
Kaha Garden was developed in 2007, by Hui o Ko’olaupoko, as a living example of how individual homeowners can help improve the local environment through the use of native vegetation and xeriscape gardens. The project replaced grass and invasive species along 150 yards of stream bank with native Hawaiian plants which can be used for soil stabilization, biofiltration and water conservation. All plant species in the garden can be found naturally in dry coastal areas throughout the Hawaiian Islands and can thrive with only the water provided by rain events and occasional summer watering.

"Thank you for teaching us about the native plants and invasive ones. I liked when we got to get dirty and dig a hole for the Uala or sweet potato." |

"Thank you for teaching me about Kaha Garden and all the plants and the weeds that take over. I also took a Kukui nut to try and plant at home because I think it will interest my family." |

"Now I know many of the ways Hawaiians used our native plants instead of us going to a store or something to figure it out. Now I will use some of these strategies." |
