Lyon Arboretum highlights
The Lyon Arboretum is home to a variety of native Hawaiian plants and exotic botanicals, but its collection is expanding every year. In total, the facility has over 15,000 accessions that include palms, heliconias, aroids, bromeliads, and gingers. Both cultivated and wild examples of Polynesian plants are displayed, as well as recreations of native ecosystems.
Some of the highlights include the Stemmermann Memorial Garden and Mapes Memorial Garden, a set of small gardens designed in traditional Japanese style with temperate and ornamental plants and seating areas. The Native Hawaiian Garden is a local treasure with small bridges and walking paths to take in spectacular plant life.
