Join Chipper Wichman, President of The National Tropical Botanical Garden, to learn about a garden’s resilience in the face of climate change on the Hawaiian Islands. Climate change has now become a crisis for many parts of the world and the oceanic islands of the Pacific are experiencing some dramatic impacts. In 2018, Limahuli Garden and Preserve (part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden) experienced a “rain bomb” of unprecedented intensity. The recovery effort of this award-winning garden is a story of vision, commitment, and hard work that has created a botanical garden that is far more resilient, and now ready to take on the 21st century storms that climate change will bring.
