Pua Mau Place Arboretum and Botanical Garden, Botanical garden near Kawaihae, Hawaii.
The arboretum spans 45 acres on the slopes of Kohala Mountain Range, featuring trails through collections of tropical plants and flowering trees.
Dr. Virgil Place and friends established this garden in 1974 to research and cultivate ever-blooming woody plants in an arid Hawaiian environment.
The garden incorporates outdoor sculptures and maintains educational programs focusing on Hawaiian agricultural practices and native plant conservation methods.
The facility remains open daily with an admission fee, providing marked plant identification signs and information booklets for independent exploration.
A specialized maze contains over 200 hibiscus varieties, while an aviary houses 150 peafowl and guineafowl within the garden grounds.
