This self-guided audio tour helps give context to the native and canoe Hawaiian plants growing at Maui Nui Botanical Gardens in Kahului, Hawaii. Explore the 5-acre Gardens at your own pace to appreciate the plants for their value to Hawaii culture, history, and ecology. Plant I.D. signs have QR codes accessible by the scan and find button or look up plants alphabetically by name.
Ethnobotany emphasizes the relationships that exist between people and plants. For example, as foods; as medicines; in divination; in cosmetics; in dyeing; as textiles; in construction; as tools and other household items; as currency; as clothing; in literature; in rituals; and in social life and recreation. Conservation emphasizes the environmental conditions in which each plant thrives and its role in Hawaiian ecology.
