We are pleased to share with our supporters improvements will engage the hearts and National Tropical Botanical Garden’s 2014 minds of our visitors and leave them with a Annual Report.

The Kampong
he Kampong the fth garden of the NTBG networ is located on the U.S. mainland, bordering Biscayne Bay in southeast Florida. Formerly the residence and private garden of noted plant explorer T David Fairchild, the living collections at The Kampong reflect his personal interest for ornamental, edible, and ethnobotanical plants from Indo-Malaysia and the central and south Americas, with particular emphasis on fruit cultivars, flowering trees, and palms This garden, with its diverse array of plants from the tropics and warm subtropics, is an exceptional setting for the study of tropical botany and horticulture. Facilities most recently added include a laboratory, education center, and dormitory. The Kampong’s proximity to universities and horticultural institutions and agencies make it an ideal location to conduct high- leverage academic programs. The Kampong is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 22 The Kampong

KAHANU GARDEN: Located on the island of Maui, this garden is a place where the living collections converge with a living culture. The focus at this garden is aci c sland ethnobotany plants used by the people of Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Here one learns the cultural relationships between these people and the plants that were transported around the aci c in ancient voyaging canoes Kahanu is home to Pi‘ilanihale, a massive lava-rock structure that is believed to be the largest ancient place of worship (heiau) in Polynesia. This awe-inspiring cultural site is registered as a National Historic Landmark.
KAHANU PRESERVE: Bordering Kahanu Garden is this roughly 80-acre preserve, which contains some of the last high-quality coastal-Pandanus ecosystems in the state, as well as ancient cultural sites. Management of this area concentrates on the removal of invasive tree species, which have the ability to degrade this valuable plant community. 26 Kahanu Garden and Preserve

McBryde and Allerton Gardens 29
ALLERTON GARDEN: A masterwork of landscape design created by Robert and John Gregg Allerton, Lawa‘i Kai, as they called it, lies along the Lawa‘i Valley coastline and serves as the majestic public entrance for the McBryde and Allerton gardens. Once a retreat of Hawai‘i’s Queen Emma, the property was acquired by the Allertons in the late 1930s. World travelers, the Allertons brought back unique tropical plants and European and Asian statuary and artifacts, and created a garden paradise. The harmony of Robert’s artistic talents and John Gregg’s architectural skills resulted in a living painting. Outdoor “rooms” were created with walls of plants surrounding gravity-fed pools and fountains. The meandering and peaceful Lawa‘i Stream enters the Allerton Garden at its border with the McBryde Garden and flows through the garden toward the sea into a protected bay McBryde and MCBRYDE GARDEN: NTBG’s flagship garden, this 00 acre garden is situated in the picturesque Lawa‘i Valley on the South shore of Kaua‘i. The garden is named for the descendants of the family that once cultivated sugar cane in the valley. McBryde is a veritable “Noah’s Ark” for tropical plants; the world’s largest assemblage of native Hawaiian plants, including endangered and extinct-in-the-wild species, are sheltered in Allerton Gardens the upper end of the valley. Ethnobotanical plants (plants used by indigenous people) of olynesian origin form the anoe Garden Living collections include signi cant groupings of rare palms, ubiaceae, heliconias and gingers, aci c sland endemics, and flowering trees NTBG’s state-of-the-art conservation and nursery facilities are located here, just down the valley from the herbarium, research library, and laboratories at the headquarters campus.
LAWA‘I PRESERVE: Located on the lands above the waterfall in the McBryde Garden near the southern coast of Kaua‘i is the nearly 50-acre Lawa‘i Preserve. This area contains pasture lands and a riparian zone that was never developed by the plantations when they farmed sugar cane and pineapple in the Lawa‘i Valley. As a result, it still contains ancient archaeological sites as well as a riparian plant community dominated by Polynesian- introduced plants. Management of this area is minimal and focuses on the use of cattle to keep it from being overrun with invasive species.
THE SOUTHSHORE VISITOR CENTER is located near the Spouting Horn state park near Poipu. This beautiful ten-acre site is the gateway for visitors to the two Southshore gardens and it contains a series of teaser garden displays to tempt visitors into purchasing a tour into the Allerton and McBryde gardens. The Visitor Centre contains all visitor amenities for the Southshore Gardens such as: restrooms, gift shop, and ticket sales. It also includes an event meadow which is a popular area for weddings, private functions and public events such as the Christmas craft fair. All tours emanate from this important area. 30 McBryde and Allerton Gardens

Limahuli Garden: Surrounded by ancient peaks on the wetter North shore of and preserve Kaua‘i is Limahuli Garden. This site was once a Hawaiian ahupua‘a, an ancient land division system that incorporated natural resources from the mountains to the sea. The valley encompasses three distinct ecological zones and contains a wide range of habitats for growing native plants. In addition to indigenous plants, the collections include Polynesian and modern introduced plants, demonstrating the invasive nature of introduced species on native plant communities. Within the garden’s boundaries are ancient agricultural terraces, created by the Polynesians nearly 1,000 years ago.
Limahuli Preserve: This nearly 1,000-acre preserve is located on the northern part of Kaua‘i in the Limahuli Valley. This isolated area is surrounded on three sides by precipitous ridges 2,000 feet high with three separate ecological zones, numerous endangered species, and many ancient Hawaiian archaeological sites. NTBG has created two distinct management areas: the Upper Preserve, a remote hanging valley reaching 3,300 feet at its highest point that requires the use of helicopters for access, and the Lower Preserve, bordered by an 800-foot waterfall emanating from the Upper Preserve on the south and the interior edge of the public garden on the north n 00 NTBG completed the construction of a fence along ve miles of the ridgeline that will exclude feral ungulates (pigs and goats) from this pristine area E orts in the Lower reserve have been directed at restoring native forests from tree canopy down to ferns and other groundcovers. 34 Limahuli The Kampong 16

ducation is an integral part of NTBG’s mission and has the Education power to open the world E of discovery, science, conser- vation, and horticulture to people of all ages and interests. It is through this process of learning that lifelong connections are forged between people and their environment.
NTBG seeks to engage the community and promote public understanding of tropical plants and their ecosystems, as well as traditional knowledge of cultural practices, by providing a broad spectrum of unique learning oppor- tunities – from courses designed for professionals, curricula for college undergraduate and graduate students, programs for school- children of all ages, and workshops and lectures for the public. 50 Education The Kampong 47

Outside programs delivered their curricula using the living collections and facility resources that NTBG o ers The latter are low impact and many generate revenue for NTBG via usage fees, such as fees for housing.
