Tropical Gardening: Preserving old Hawaii with Amy Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden

This native Pritchardia palm is one of many endangered palm species found at Amy Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden in Kona. Once flourishing before pigs and rats were brought to the islands, the 24 species are on the verge of extinction.

We are blessed with natural beauty wherever we look around our island, but it is easy to take for granted.
