McBryde Garden

McBryde Garden occupies about 200 acres above Lāwaʻi Bay on Kauai’s south shore, in a valley shaped by Lāwaʻi Stream. Part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden and adjoining its headquarters and Allerton Garden, the site reflects several eras of Hawaiian history: Queen Emma briefly lived above the valley, the McBryde family later used it for sugarcane, and in 1970 the botanical garden organization established its first garden here as Lāwaʻi Garden. Renamed in 2000 after a major McBryde family donation, it is now both a public garden and a research and conservation center, housing the world’s largest ex situ collection of native Hawaiian flora.
