Foster Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in central Honolulu, United States
The Foster Botanical Garden extends across 14 acres, featuring native Hawaiian plants, tropical trees, orchids, palms, and endangered plant species.
Queen Kalama leased the land to German botanist William Hillebrand in 1853, who established the initial garden and introduced numerous plants to Hawaii.
The garden displays various sculptures, including a replica of the Daibutsu of Kamakura commemorating 100 years of Japanese immigration to Hawaii.
Visitors can explore different sections such as the Upper Terrace, Middle Terraces, Economic Garden, Prehistoric Glen, and Lyon Orchid Garden throughout the year.
The garden contains a Sacred Fig tree, a direct clone descendant of the Bodhi tree under which Buddha received enlightenment.
