Kelley Orchidland Garden

As part of an event of the Hawaii Island Palm Society (HIPS), I visited the private Kelley Orchidland Garden in the Hilo area of Hawai‘i on July 25, 2020. Despite the approaching hurricane Douglas, the weather was spectacular, even sunny, considering that this garden gets around 3800mm of rain annually.

The garden is a great example of what you can accomplish in just a few years. A great selection of plants!
