Kahului
Library Courtyard Project
The Kahului Library
Courtyard has
been planted and maintained by the NHPS for over 20 years. For many
years, Eda Kinear was its caretaker. The centerpiece is a naio
tree. Other plants include naupaka,
'ahu'awa, Kupukupu,
Palapalai,
‘Ihi, Hedyotis littoralis,
‘Uki’uki,
‘Ūlei,
‘Ihi’ihilauākea,
Mau’u
‘aki ‘aki, ‘ Ēkaha
(Bird’s nest fern), ‘Ae’ae,
Pa’u-o-hi’iaka,
‘Ala’ala
wai nūi,
and
Nohu.
The cast of plants may change at any time - the area is on an
irrigation timer, and the amount of water is not healthy for the dry
land natives that would have grown in the area originally. Current
Project Leader is
Lorna Hazen.
