The Kapiolani Community College Cactus Garden is a small but detailed botanical garden located on the Kapiolani Community College campus near Diamond Head Crater, about 45 minutes from the Ko Olina Beach Villas. The garden specializes in various varieties of cacti.
The garden was founded in 1988 by Moriso Teraoka, a long-time supporter of the community college, botanical endeavors, and natural flora. The cacti on site were collected over a period of several years.
The garden is free and open to the public year round, and a great way to support local agriculture, student education, and the strong community effort involved in collecting, cultivating, and maintaining the garden.
