Geocache Description:

Located in Beautiful Wahiawa Botanical Garden, with permission of the garden's supervisor. Garden is open daily from 9AM to 4 PM. Closed on Christmas and New year's Day, as well as some Fridays- see Geogerms picture below!

This cache was placed with the permission and encouragement of Erin, the garden's supervisor. He told me he enjoys helping visitors find the other cache, a multi, GC117F5, which I adopted several years ago from FlyingHI.

The garden is a 27 acre forested ravine on the 1,000 ft plateau in Central O'ahu. Tropical flora requring a cooler climate thrive in this rainforest setting. Special plant collections include native Hawaiian plants, palms, aroids, heliconias, gingers, tree ferns and epiphytes. I love the large ficus tree in the middle of the park as well as the cinnamon trees.

Watch out for a few pokey plants as well as you travel towards the cache!



If you find this plant, you are close!

There are ANTS everywhere in the garden, so expect them near and on the cache as well!!! There is a unactivated geocoin for the FTF, happy caching and enjoy the garden!! Congrats to GG and 808LB for the FTF and thanks for the photo of the closings on furlough fridays!
