Grow Aloha
A vibrant tropical landscape is showcased with majestic mountains, a radiant rainbow, lush flora, and a vivid bird. People are seen joyfully gardening and relaxing, reminiscent of a scene you'd discover at the Bishop Museum's enchanting exhibits.
Grow Aloha is a hui of plant adoption partners working together to restore Hawaiian plants and our relationships with them in urban areas. Bishop Museum is a proud partner and plant adoption site on Oʻahu.
