Community Areas
We have many areas of the garden that are used and maintained by the community. This includes a:
- Herb Garden
- Bamboo Gathering Circle
- Picnic Table
- Plant Nursery
- Tool Shed
- Composting Toilet
- Compost Area
- Orchard
Bamboo Gathering Circle
We planted the bamboo in 2009 to create a circle of protection from the wind, rain, and sun. We hold meetings, classes, and events here.
Picnic Tables
The garden used to be a eucalyptus forest. When it was cleared in 2006, some of the stumps were left to create picnic areas, such as the one pictured.
Plant Nursery
The green house nursery is available for starting seeds and features an automatic mister.
Tool Shed
The tool shed houses the many tools and equipment available for use in the garden. The following tools are available in the tool shed for use in the garden:
- Shovels,
- Hoes,
- Wheelbarrows,
- Rakes,
- Lawn Mowers,
- Weed Whackers,
- Rototiller,
- Gloves,
- Tools, and
- Garden Supplies
Composting Toilet
The composting toilet is an environmentally friendly solution that saves water at the garden.
Goodwill Garden
We started our Goodwill Garden in 2013 t sow it forward to feed Maui's hungry. Two plots are designated growing areas for food to be donated to the Maui Food Bank and Hale Kau Kau programs which feed the hungry on Maui.
Group Project Days
Group project days are usually the first Saturday of every month from 9 am -12 pm and the 2nd Tuesday after the 1st Saturday from 4pm - sunset. The garden is maintained and operated 100% through volunteer efforts.
Open Houses, Parties, Classes
As a community we have developed a gathering space called the bamboo circle, as a place to come together throughout the year for education, socializing, and having open houses.
General Meetings
We have a general meeting each year in January and, if needed, a follow-up meeting in June. This is when we assess how things are going and collect visions for the garden.
