Description
"Ancient Taro Gardens in Kauai, Hawaii" by Catherine Sherman
Limahuli Garden & Preserve in north Kauai, the Garden Isle of the Hawaiian Islands, features the ancient agriculture and native plants of the island.
The rock walls surrounding the taro fields are estimated to be about 700 years old in the Limahuli Tropical Botanical Garden in north Kauai west of Hanalei. The rock walls were part of an irrigation system that diverted some water from the Limahuli River to grow taro.
