Saturday at the Garden

I've been waiting for a chance to take the kids to the UH Garden Oahu Urban Garden Center. They are only open on the second Saturday and it seems like we always have something going on. We finally made it. It's amazing! A great place to channel your inner Anne of Green Gables.







These smell so incredible! I could have sat here with a big ice tea, a great book, and read all day.
There are different sections like this Hawaiian alphabet tree area. There are 13 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet.

This area made us miss Ms. Michelle-everything looked like it was from a Dr. Seuss story!
Feeding the horse.


We saw THE most gigantic mosquito we have ever seen on this tree. We stood there just marveling at it until it flew away then Evan flipped out that it was going to get him.
There's a butterfly garden.

This is such a sweet area.

These look like the sugar violets that go on cakes.

Coming out of the caterpillar tunnel.







We missed the plumarias, the fruit trees, the maze, the herbs, vegetables...we can't wait to go back!

That is like a little bit of heaven on Earth! Beautiful. We are not coming to Hawaii now. The flights are just too full so we will try again next year. Blessings!
