Botanical Garden at University of Hawaii - Hilo
Hilo, Hawaii, United States
The Botanical Garden at the University of Hawaii at Hilo spans several acres on the UH Hilo campus in a humid tropical zone, established in the 1980s by Professor Don Hemmes after a student inquired about pine trees, leading to plantings for educational purposes.
It features one of Hawaii's premier cycad collections with over 120 species from around the world, alongside diverse palms, bromeliads, conifers, and other global flora used as a living lab for students in biology and pharmacy.
Open daily to the public at no charge, the garden earned international accreditation from Botanic Gardens Conservation International in late 2024 for its plant conservation efforts, with paths winding through lush displays near residence halls.
