Overview from our last Walkabout​

​

November 17, 2025 At Lyon Arboretum:​

​

Guests joined us for a guided morning walk through Lyon Arboretum, a 200-acre living museum at the end of Mānoa Valley. Lyon's expert guide shared insights into the arboretum’s plant collections, history, and cultural stories, offering a deeper look at Mānoa’s ecology and conservation efforts. The guided portion concluded at 10:30 AM, and attendees were welcomed to continue exploring the gardens and trails on their own.

​

This expansive tropical botanical garden, managed by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, is home to more than 6,000 plant species, with a strong focus on native Hawaiian plants, conservation, and Hawaiian ethnobotany.
