Maui Nui Botanical Gardens
Maui Nui Botanical Gardens.
Our collection is more than 30 years old and is the only botanical garden in the state located on a coastal dune system featuring native Hawaiian coastal and dry forest plants. Maui Nui Botanical Gardens is a non-profit organization working in partnership with the County of Maui, the Office of Economic Development, and the Maui Board of Water Supply.
Throughout the Gardens we have incorporated many xeriscaping (water conservation) techniques including drip irrigation systems and mulching. The plants located here are adapted to low rainfall and are becoming increasingly popular in local landscapes.
.Maui Nui Botanical Gardens supports many conservation efforts through the propagation of endangered species.
Maui, Hawaii - Kula Botanical Gardens (Part 1)
Description of the Native and colourful plants featured in the Kula Botanical Gardens.
Guest: Jeff McCord -- Kula Botanical Garden
• The Garden tries to incorporate a lot of native plants, because they want to propagate a lot of the native species, and perpetuate the species
• Though there are some beautiful native plants, Hawaiian native plants are not always the most showy, so native plants are placed among the colourful species so people can enjoy both
• The diversity in this garden is the strongest because they can grow a number of different varieties of plants from deciduous to tropical, so each time of year is unique because different species come into season at different times
• The garden has brought in plants like the state flower (Yellow hibiscus), native ferns, little shrubs (like yuki, etc...), and native tree ferns (Ciboteum Splendens)
• The garden also features a beautiful, indigenous Koa forest in the very front of the garden, that has been there since before they started the garden

Part 2 Import Replacement Commodities - Dr. Cynthia Nazario-Leary
The import of plants for landscaping, sale, propagation, cut flowers, and foliage is considered a high-risk pathway for pests and diseases which is not only detrimental to Hawai‘i’s environment but can add financial burdens to growers if quarantine restrictions on exports and in-state sale of locally produced flowers and foliage are imposed. The goal of this project will be to provide cut flower and foliage germplasm which can be grown locally as a disease-free import replacement for high-risk materials used by the cut flower and foliage industry. Existing potential import replacement cultivars, primarily from the Myrtaceae and Proteacea families, will be evaluated for cut flower and foliage qualities, ease of cultivation and management, and post-harvest longevity. Sunflower and hydrangea, two species of cut flower often rejected and considered a high-risk import by HDOA quarantine will also be evaluated for their potential as a specialty cut flower crop in Hawai‘i. To support adoption of new cultivars, a needs assessment of the floral industry will be conducted to help identify gaps and needs in the production, marketing, and distribution of new cultivars. Collaborative workshops between growers and florists will also be conducted to demonstrate field trials, provide opportunities to create market pathways for cultivars, and give feedback on field performance of the selections.

radiation readings 12.30.12 garden soil
Radiation monitoring of myself and what I come in contact with: air/ambient, ground, plants, food, shelter, vehicles, etc.
Looking for correlations between personal readings and contact materials to find cost effective solutions to remediate/mitigate internal radiation exposure.
Since the human body is an osmotic membrane what goes in should be able to be removed. I plan to prove radiation poisoning is not permanent with the correct protocol based on environmental factors. The movie Radio Bikini and video of the Belarus children after Chernobyl were huge influences to undertake this personal study. Due to the fact that Japan has not stopped the radiation leaks of which a portion of the materials will take more than 2.5 million years to degrade into their equally harmful daughter products and more than 230 nuclear facilities exist in the contiguous 48 United States, personal preservation is the only safeguard to an ongoing and impending human health disaster. 25 years after the Chernobyl incident, the area is still uninhabitable but the area has always been green with trees, plants and grasses flourishing. Fuk-us-hi-ma is showing the same results and scientists agree that the radiation from the failed reactors circles the globe approximately every 40 days.
