This resource is a CTAHR guide to growing and using native Hawaiian plants in landscapes, conservation plantings, and reforestation. It begins with general plant culture notes, then gives illustrated profiles of native groundcovers, shrubs, and trees, including propagation methods, landscape uses, pests, and cultural notes. It works well as both a native plant reference and a practical planting guide.
Native Plant Landscaping and Propagation Investigation
Learners use the guide to compare native Hawaiian plants by growth form, habitat tolerance, propagation method, and landscape use, then select species for gardens, school grounds, restoration projects, or xeriscaping. The resource can also support propagation practice, plant research, and planning for conservation-minded landscapes.
