Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden is a 15-acre biocultural space in Captain Cook, Hawaii, dedicated to preserving the rich botanical heritage of the islands. It features over 200 native and Polynesian-introduced plant species alongside an archaeological site, illustrating ancient Hawaiian agricultural practices.
Through its vibrant offerings—including educational programs, volunteer opportunities, and community events—the garden serves as a living classroom that fosters appreciation for traditional land use and contributes to local food systems. Since transitioning to community ownership in 2019, it continues to be a source of cultural learning and enjoyment for residents and visitors alike.
