From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kula Botanical Garden (6 acres) is a botanical garden located on Kekaulike Highway (Highway 377) near the Kula Highway (Highway 37) junction, Maui, Hawaii. It is open daily; an admission fee is charged.
The garden was created in 1977 by Warren McCord as a native Hawaiian plant reserve. It was Maui's first public garden. Sited at an elevation of 3,300 feet, it is suitable for both tropical and semi-tropical species. Today the garden contains nearly 2,000 plant varieties, including collections of protea, orchids, bromeliads, native Hawaiian plants, and trees including koa and kukui. Other features include an aviary, a koi pond, waterfalls, and a covered bridge. The garden is located near the Haleakala volcano; in its foothill.
