History
The gardens were created in the 1930s by Alexandra Moir while her husband was manager of Hawaii's first sugarcane plantation, Koloa Plantation, near the site.[2] By 1948 the private gardens were reportedly identified as "one of the ten best cactus and succulent gardens in the world."[citation needed] The gardens opened to the public in 1954.
Collection
Today the garden contains rare cactus and succulents, bromeliads, orchids, mature trees, and water lily ponds.
