ʻŌhiʻa are an invaluable part of our ecosystems and culture in Hawaiʻi. These sacred trees are under threat from Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD), but we can all do our part to protect them. Learn how and join us at Limahuli Garden & Preserve for a day of ʻōhiʻa love, a native plant sale, educational talks, conservation booths, local craft & food vendors, keiki corner, and more, in partnership with Kauai Invasive Species Committee (KISC)!
Come get your favorite native plants!
Attend free, informative, and inspiring presentations that celebrate ʻōhiʻa. Registration is not required. Find a list of presenters & timetable below.
