I enjoyed this small, tropical terrace garden (free admission) at the intersection of Queen Kaahumanu and Kuakini highways, established by the Kona Outdoor Circle.
Usually I respond to plants first and design second, but I particularly liked the design here. The plants, grouped by nativity, come from tropical regions across the world. Sorry, I didn't make any notes about species. Sadie Seymour's son Scott Seymour did the design. She was an amateur gardener and community activist (1907-1975).
I imagine someone has to pull seedlings out of there.

Very nice garden. I like the terrace design too.
I liked the design too, simple and a little formal which gave space to show off the trees. The plants are amazing. Thanks
I went to that area as a teen and don't remember much of it at all. (I think I spent that vacation mostly arguing with my mother.) This is a great reminded that I need to go back there soon. I loved that you showed the seeds in the cracks too.
