A look at Foster Botanical Garden, downtown Honolulu

[Hawaiʻi] This magnificent garden was created in the 1850s and is the oldest botanical garden in Honolulu. It is well worth a visit. You will find plants and trees from allover the world. There is also an area where you enjoy beautiful butterflies.

You did a good job. Been living in Oahu for 64 years but I have not visited Foster Garden in many years. Jody Mitchell in the 70's made a song about this park,

This is the song about foster gardens Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel *, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot They took all the trees Put 'em in a tree museum * And they charged the people A dollar and a half just to see 'em Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Hey farmer farmer Put away that DDT * now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi Took away my old man Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
