McBryde Garden History
McBryde Garden lies in the southern part of the Hawaiian ahupua‘a (land division) of Lāwa‘i, originally extending along the Lāwa‘i Stream from the Kapalaoa Range to Lāwa‘i Bay.
Meet Hawaiian native plants that breathe life into our islands, enter a regenerative food forest, trace the history of plant life, and discover rare species from across the tropics — all in one extraordinary garden. Visit McBryde Garden and grow a brighter tomorrow for generations of plants and people.
