Amy Greenwell Garden has scheduled a clean up day to help care for the native plants and fend off the invasive species at the 12 acre garden in Captain Cook. Volunteers are invited to lend a hand with the clean–up activities anytime from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 20, 2004.

The collective effort will include hand weeding, raking, and general clean up in the upland forest section of the Garden under the koa and ‘ohi‘a trees. Volunteers are asked to bring gloves, a hat, sunscreen, mosquito lotion, and their favorite hand tools. Snacks and drinks will be provided for workers; however, volunteers are encouraged to bring lunch. For more information, please call (808) 323-3318.

The Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden is a Bishop Museum facility, located in South Kona on the Māmalahoa Highway. During the year, more than 8,000 visitors experience the Garden and explore the plants of traditional Kona. The Garden is a regular stop for school tours, and people of all ages enjoy workshops on traditional Hawaiian arts.
