Peter has managed Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden in Captain Cook for the last twenty years. He has grown and studied many native Hawaiian plants during his tenure there. Peter is very knowledgeable and passionate about the growth habits, needs and tolerances of the endemic, indigenous and canoe plants that have been grown at the garden. He has overseen the maintenance of the garden during its current transition to new ownership, and will present the possibilities for the community to visit and get involved in the garden once new ownership is finalized. A presentation handout will be provided to help you decide which native plants to include in your garden, landscape or farm.
