Wahiawa Botanical Garden

Most of Wahiawā Botanical Garden is closed until further notice, including the pathways and the gulch. Several large branches and trees fell in the garden in the winds and rain of Hurricanes Lala and Lowell, and the City said in August that the garden had storm damage to its walkways. The entrance, visitor center, multi-purpose room and main lawn stay open, and the garden's programs and classes go on. Check the City's garden page for reopening news before you go. The free City garden is on California Avenue in Wahiawā, in central Oʻahu between the Waiʻanae and Koʻolau ranges. It began as an experimental arboretum of the sugar planters, and its forested ravine holds plants that thrive in a cool, shady and humid upland setting, among them native Hawaiian plants, aroids, tree ferns and epiphytes.
