University of Nebraska–Lincoln Horticulture Club members take a lunch break at Liliʻuokalani Botanical Garden, an urban garden focused on native Hawaiian plants in Honolulu. Portions of this garden were once the property and favorite picnic grounds of Queen Liliʻuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. She later donated her land to the City and County of Honolulu to be used for the public's enjoyment.
The club and advisers, Terri James and Mark Canney of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, traveled to O‘ahu over Spring Break to explore horticulture industries, unique landscape systems and local culture. The club visited nurseries, botanical gardens, a local coffee roaster business, the University of Hawaii research stations and the Polynesian Cultural Center. They did take some free time to check out the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, several beaches, great local restaurants and a Husker beach volleyball match.
