  Treat and Treat!

  These two exceptional “urban” gardens in Hilo are relatively new and inspiring.  Karl’s garden backs into the Wailuku River and both are on narrow neighborhood streets so parking will be remote and HIPS will provide shuttle service to/from the gardens.  More details coming soon.

• In the Field with the National Tropical Botanic Garden: Collection and Propagation of rare Pritchardia Species by Mike DeMota Curator of Living Collections, NTBG

  • When
    17 Nov 2021

    TBD

  November 17 (tentative), we are hoping that we will be able to use the usual lecture hall at UH Hilo, but currently UH is not scheduling lecture halls due to Covid-19 restrictions.  More information will be sent out as the situation unfolds.

  HIPS is proud to present a slide show and lecture by Mike DeMota who has been instrumental to the discovery and collection of native Hawaiian plant species, including difficult to reach cliff dwelling Pritchardia species.
