Greenwell Cultural Heritage Garden

The Amy Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden is on the Hawaiʻi Belt Road in Captain Cook, in South Kona. Amy Greenwell left it to the Bishop Museum to conserve an example of the historic Kona Field System, and after years as part of the museum it passed to community ownership. It is a protected remnant of land with plants and farming features from an earlier era, growing native plants and plants Polynesians brought before Captain Cook arrived. Part of the garden is an archaeological site that keeps features of the old Hawaiian farmland that once fed a large population in Kona. The visitor center has a gift shop. The garden is closed on Mondays and on several major holidays.
