The Foster Botanical Garden opened to the public in 1931. It was bequeathed to the City of Honolulu by Mrs. Mary Foster at the time of her death. This 13.5-acre garden is a living museum of exotic plants and trees collected over a period of 140 years from around the world's tropics. From orchids to the cigar box tree from the Amazon, this beautiful garden is a restful and educational experience.

Specialty Gardens include the Palm Collection, Orchid Gardens, Prehistoric Glen, and Exceptional Trees. This botanical garden is a favorite place for weddings and photo shoots.
