About the Garden:

Step away from the city and enjoy a refreshing visit to Foster Botanical Garden, the oldest of the Honolulu Botanical Gardens. This 14-acre oasis features a world-class collection of tropical plants, including some magnificent trees planted in the 1850s by Dr. William Hillebrand. These trees mark the beginning of what would become the Honolulu Botanical Gardens.

What to Expect:

Tours are led by dedicated volunteer guides who have completed a six-week training program. They bring the garden to life with in-depth stories, history, culture, and fascinating insights into its plants and animals.

The 2025 Hawaii’s Woodshow™ marks the 33rd anniversary of Hawai‘i’s
premier woodworking exhibition, presented by the Hawai‘i Forest
Association (HFA). This annual showcase celebrates masterful
craftsmanship, innovative design, and the unparalleled beauty of
furniture and fine woodworking created from Hawaiian-grown woods.

Artists are challenged to create exceptional works that highlight the
character, figure, and spirit of local species—especially those
cultivated and matured in Hawai‘i. By doing so, the Woodshow not only
inspires excellence in artistry but also underscores the value of
planting and stewarding high-quality hardwoods for future generations.
