Name of Garden:
Allerton Garden
History:
It is a garden paradise, imagined first by Hawaii's Queen Emma in the late 19th century and then by Alexander McBryde at the turn of the 20th century. But it was Robert and John Gregg Allerton who explored the endless possibilities found in this dramatic topography and created this masterpiece of garden art.
Description:
Enter the gates of this once-private estate and wind past cliff top views of a protected bay below. Stroll through outdoor "rooms," beside rippling pools and fountains and dramatic sculpture. Drink in the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of fascinating plants, vibrant flowers and flowing water. See species of plants that are extinct in the wild thriving in the NTBG nursery.
