Long-Range Planning​ for Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden

About the Planning Process

Since opening in 1982, Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden has become an essential part of the Windward Oʻahu community. With a record-breaking 724,000 visitors in 2025, the Garden continues to thrive as a cherished botanical destination for relaxation, education, and recreation.

As we celebrate 43 years of service, we are excited to announce that we are embarking on the Garden’s first-ever master planning process. This is a historic moment in the Garden’s development, and we invite YOU—our community, visitors, and stakeholders—to share your thoughts and ideas to help shape the future of this beloved space.

The Goals of the Long-Range Planning Process:

    • Enhance Visitor Experience: Ensure a meaningful, inclusive, and educational experience for all who visit the Garden with an initial focus on managing visitation and alleviating congestion to improve public safety.
    • Engage the Community and Provide Accessibility: Expand the Garden’s role as a community resource responsive to the needs of Koʻolaupoko residents.
    • Preserve Environmental, Cultural, and Historical Resources: Acknowledge and integrating the cultural heritage of the ʻāina and its historical significance in the Garden’s future development.
    • Provide Botanical and Facility Development: Plan for the future improvements and care of the diverse plant collections, garden infrastructure, public facilities, educational spaces, and visitor amenities.

We want your voice to be heard! Together, we can ensure that Hoʻomaluhia remains a treasured place for peace and tranquility for generations to come.
