Kaha Garden was developed in 2007, by Hui o Ko’olaupoko, as a living example of how individual homeowners can help improve the local environment through the use of native vegetation and xeriscape gardens. The project replaced grass and invasive species along 150 yards of stream bank with native Hawaiian plants which can be used for soil stabilization, biofiltration and water conservation. All plant species in the garden can be found naturally in dry coastal areas throughout the Hawaiian Islands and can thrive with only the water provided by rain events and occasional summer watering.
Visitors can walk the garden pathways to see how plantings might appear in their own backyard. The project also included the installation of interpretative signs and the development of a website about Kaha Garden designed by local elementary school students, to further explain the benefits of native landscaping and other best management practices.
