FOFA PROJECTS 2003
Projects Paid For by Individual Donors
Thanks to generous donations by individuals, FOFA sponsored several projects in 2003, including new luau tables, urgent tree trimming, propagation workshops, new plantings and some basic Arboretum maintenance. (Click here to see Donors List)
Two propagation workshops were sponsored by FOFA in 2003. The classes included students from the Maui Association of Landscape Professionals, as well as interested individuals. Richard Nakagawa, of the DLNR Nursery, taught air-layer and grafting techniques on two different native Hibiscus, the large fragrant white Hibiscus waimeae and the endangered Hibiscus waimeae subsp. hannerae.
