| 説明 | Limahuli Garden and Preserve was selected by the American Horticultural Society as the best natural botanical garden in the U. S., having demonstrated the best sound environmental practices of water, soil, and rare plant conservation in an overall garden design. Limahuli Garden and Preserve is set in a verdant tropical valley on the north shore of the Hawaiian Island of Kaua`i. The Garden is backdropped by the majestic Makana Mountain and overlooks the Pacific Ocean.In Hawaiian, the name Limahuli means “turning hands,” which recognizes the ancient Hawaiians who built agricultural terraces out of lava rock and planted cultivars of taro, an important cultural food crop.These and other plants that were significant to the early inhabitants, as well as native species, make up the Garden's collections. The property includes a plantation-era garden, as well as invasive species that were introduced by modern man. Limahuli Stream, one of the last pristine waterways left in the Islands, provides a habitat for indigenous aquatic life. DSC_0919 |
