A Photo Journey from The Garden of Eden in Maui

in #travel4 years ago

Hey all! It's been a while since I last posted, since I started a business and was fully occupied in the start-up life. But things have been easing up and I'm having time to get back into creative endeavors.

I want to share some photos from Maui. These photos are specifically from the Garden of Eden, which is on the road to Hana.

The Garden of Eden is a botanical garden that began in 1991. From their website: "Our goal is to help restore natural ecosystems and promote Hawai’i’s native and indigenous species. We being artists and not purists, also feature many exotic plants and trees from all over the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Currently we feature over 700 botanically labeled specimens, some of which were donated by George Harrison of The Beatles. George was a North Shore neighbor and a devoted plant enthusiast."

The garden overlooks the ocean and is situated on a steep hillside:

There were hundreds of types of trees, including a rainbow eucalyptus tree:

There was a whole bamboo forrest with many types of bamboo:

At the end of the hike there was a beautiful waterfall on the side of the hillside:

There were trees that had bark that looked like paper:

And at the end, we even got to see a peacock show it's tail feathers!

That certainly does look like a beautiful spot! It's cool the little pieces of treasure like that exist.

Nice tranquil place.
