The seed parent garden is four\u00a0acres in North Kohala on\u00a0Hawaii island. Currently, 47 species of plants are grown as seed parents and used for propagation. Originally, the area was used for growing sugar cane, and that usage depleted most of the land\u2019s nutrients. Slowly, with the addition of amendments and through organic gardening the soil has nurtured some very rare plants and aided in seed production.\u00a0 Thousands of seeds have been produced and shared with others.\u00a0 A product of these seeds are the plants that we have been able to share with botanical gardens, schools, parks and individuals.\u00a0 Organizations and individuals dedicated to Hawaiian plants have been collaborators of ours and have helped us gain knowledge. \u00a0This sharing has increased our ability to grow plants that have been notoriously difficult to grow.<\/p>\n
Having received so much from the community, including financial support and plant donations, we recognize the\u00a0importance of giving back\u00a0whenever possible. Along with donating plants from our garden, we have worked to create a dialogue with other interested stakeholders.\u00a0 We believe we are stewards of the land and we let \u2018Ka H\u0101 \u2018\u014d Ka \u2018\u0100ina, Inc. speak for itself. \u00a0We are committed to protecting these plants. We fear without these efforts they\u00a0may be lost forever.<\/p>\n
