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.
