2018 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2018 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories Program Guidelines: A current membership card from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) or a participating RAP garden entitles the visitor to special admissions privileges and/or discounts at many different types of gardens. The AHS provides the following guidelines to its members and the members of participating gardens for enjoying their RAP benefits: Call the garden you would like to visit ahead of time. Some gardens have exclusions for special events, for visitors who live within 90 miles of the garden, etc. Each garden has its own unique admissions policy, RAP benefits, and hours of operations. Calling ahead ensures that you get the most up to date information. Present your current membership card to receive the RAP benefit(s) for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. Beyond this, gardens will refer to their own policies regarding household/family memberships. Some gardens may require a photo ID. The 90-mile Exclusion policy allows a garden to exclude members of gardens within 90 miles of it from receiving the RAP benefit(s). For AHS members, the exclusion is based on their home address. Please contact the garden you belong to or the garden you plan to visit to inquire about their enforcement of this policy. Remember that the gardens you visit rely on admission and donations to maintain their collections and gardens for all to enjoy. Please support them by visiting their gift shops or making a contribution.

    STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES OFFICE OF CONSERVATION AND COASTAL LANDS Honolulu, Hawaii April 26, 2013 Board of Land and Natural Resources State of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii REGARDING: RULE AMENDMENT KA-lO-Ol Request to Amend Title 13, Chapter 5, Hawaii Administrative Rules (Chap. 13-5, HAR), to Establish the Lawa’i Kai Special Subzone PETITIONERJ LANDOWNER: Chipper Wichman / National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG), Allerton Garden Trust LOCATION: Lawa’i, Koloa District, Island of Kaua’i TMKs: (4) 2-6-002:001, 004-009 & (4) Submerged Lands PETITION AREA: 109.5 acres SUBZONE: Limited/Resource BACKGROUND The proposed project site, named Lawa’i Kai (i.e., the ocean side of Lawa’i), encompasses the area known as the “Allerton Garden” and is a portion of the larger National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) property located in Lawa’i Valley on the south coast of the Island of Kaua’i (Exhibit 1). The subject parcels, included in this proposal, are situated within the State Land Use Conservation District Limited (Lawa ‘I Kai) and Resource (Submerged lands of Lawa’i Bay) Subzones (Exhibit 2). The NTBG property and the larger Lawa’i Valley have historically been utilized for residential, agricultural, and botanical uses since the mid-i 800s. Historical records indicate that the mauka lands, not part of this petition, of the NTBG property were utilized for animal husbandry and grazing practices while the area of Lawa ‘I Kai were typically used for rice and lo’i cultivation. The agricultural development of Lawa’i Valley included the construction of a number of camps and clusters of homes for the myriad of employees that worked the numerous agricultural fields.

  • 2012 Annual Report
    AnnuAl RepoRt 2012 On the cover: Brighamia insignis, commonly known as ‘ālula or ‘ōlulu in Hawaiian, a critically endangered plant endemic to Kaua‘i. This Page: Bamboo Grove, Allerton Garden, Kaua‘i Message froM Chipper WiChMan and Merrill MagoWan 2012 was an important year for the National Tropical Botanical Garden in many ways. One of the most significant was the fact that it marked the first year of our new five-year strategic plan. This plan is our roadmap to achieving our vision and our potential as a leading botanic institution. The plan represents our dreams and aspirations for the future and the first year demonstrated great progress towards the challenging goals we set for ourselves. Two significant key goals of the plan call for the creation of an international center for tropical botany at The Kampong (our garden in Florida) in collaboration with Florida International University and the renewal and improvement of our flagship garden – McBryde Garden. Both of these goals will extend the impact of our organization to a national and international audience as well as help to create a more sustainable organization financially. Significant contributions were received in 2012 towards both of these goals. Another highlight of 2012 was the fall Board meeting held in the United Kingdom. In the 49-year history of our organization, this is the first time the Board has met outside of the United States. The meeting took us to the Eden Project in Cornwall and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in Scotland where they shared their expertise in innovation through marketing, visitor services and education.

  • Artocarpus Altilis) for Food
    Investigations into the Morphological, Agronomic, and Nutritional Diversity within Breadfruit (Artocarpus, Moraceae) as a Resource for Food Security by Andrew Maxwell Phineas Jones A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSIPHY In THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Biology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) December, 2010 ©Andrew Maxwell Phineas Jones, 2010 Abstract Global food security is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity in the 21st century, with the number of undernourished people reaching an unprecedented high of over 1 billion. The problem is most acute in rural areas in tropical climates. Breadfruit (Artocarpus, Moraceae), a high-yielding tropical staple food crop, has been identified under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture for its potential to impact food security. The Breadfruit Institute at the National Tropical Botanical Garden houses the largest breadfruit collection in the world which represents a vast diversity of botanical and nutritional characters developed through millennia of traditional breeding. Breadfruit exhibits a great degree of morphological variability with cultivars that produce small 500g seeded fruit to those that produce large 3.5 kg seedless fruit. Variation is also expressed in the 57 characteristics evaluated in this study, with deep implications regarding the history of breadfruit domestication and the utilization of this crop to bolster food security. Evaluation of agronomic diversity has classified breadfruit into 10 seasonality groups, including non-seasonal, early, and late season cultivars. Informed cultivar selection based on these data will allow the fruiting season to be extended, and year round production will be possible.
