17th Annual Kaua‘i Garden Fair
Photos by Joan Conrow Sunny skies greeted plant and flower enthusiasts at the 17th Annual Kaua‘i Garden Fair at Kaua‘i Community College on April 14. Co-hosted by the Kaua‘i County Farm Bureau and University of Hawai‘i College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, the popular event featured informational talks on anthuriums, breadfruit, bananas, bees, orchids and insect pests, along with booths staffed by nonprofits and local businesses, a 4-H petting zoo and a food court. Judging from the smiles, folks had a wonderful time, with many purchasing plants for their own gardens.
