You should look into the three different sites of the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Kauai. One is a garden with a fair amount of landscaping and some formal elements - the Allerton Garden - I really enjoyed my visit there. There is also the McBryde Garden, which I understand is more of a research facility, and the Limahuli Garden, which is a large preserve. When I visited Kauai several years ago, I had trouble getting information about how to actually tour McBryde and Limahuli, but the NTBG's website seems to suggest that you now make reservation online: http://ntbg.org/location.html +More Have wonderful trip! -Roz, in Southern California"hanson, skip" wrote: All, Hello.

Taro fields extending off to the horizon may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you've got to admit, that's a lot of aroids! The road gets steep after Princeville, but in good weather it shouldn't be a problem; there is a parking area at the bottom of the hill, by a bridge. Stay on the road; to go into the fields is considered trespassing, and is ticketable.
