Foster Botanical Garden docent Craig Ball leads a tour.

One of the many closures caused by the pandemic was the docent program at Honolulu's beloved Foster Botanical Garden. Free garden tours are coming back, and the program is searching for new docents.

The garden is home to many exceptional trees that tell the history of Hawaiʻi. Joshlyn Sand is the director of the garden and Lana Brodziak is a docent — a storyteller. HPR sat down with them to talk about resuming tours in January 2025.

The garden will be holding docent training for those interested from Sept. 25 - Oct. 30. To sign up and learn more, click here.
