Nā Meaulu Makamae – Precious Hawaiian Plants

July 18, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

native Hawaiian plants

National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) & Department of Water(DOW)

Native Plant Presentation & Giveaway

Native Hawaiian plants are foundational to Hawaiʻi’s ecosystems and intrinsic to Hawaiian culture.  Perfectly adapted to Hawaiʻi’s climate and soils, they’re a great choice for waterwise landscaping.  When you grow native plants, you grow aloha for ‘āina. In addition to learning about these special plants, each attendee will go home with a native plant.

In honor of Smart Irrigration Month, Department of Water (DOW) will be present for a grand prize drawing for a WaterSense irrigation controller (valued at $140) and three hose nozzles. July is Smart Irrigation Month, an awareness campaign to promote water-saving products, practices and services.


Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events at HSPLS Events Calendar.
