Kauai Botanical Gardens

At home in soggy Seattle, I'm a lackadaisical gardener, yet visiting Kauai has turned me into a garden-loving tourist. Kauai, like its sister Hawaiian islands, is a botanical bonanza. Bathed in the island's natural steroids of endless sunshine and warm best-known musicians will gather on Kauai on April 5 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a group of tropical gardens. The Kauai concert will be staged from 1-5 p.m. in a setting near the National Tropical Botanical Garden’s visitors center in Poipu. Kauai is known as the "Garden Isle" and boasts three National Tropical Botanical Gardens: Allerton and McBryde on the South Shore and Limahuli Gardens and Preserve in Haena.
