Kula Botanical Garden Clean Up & Restoration
Don protégé
Aloha Everyone,
On behalf of the McCord 'ohana, mahalo for taking the time to read about our situation. On Sunday, Dec 5th, 2021, a massive storm hit the island of Maui. We know that many people were affected by this storm and we are sad to say that we too have been affected greatly. We own and operate Kula Botanical Garden on the island of Maui.
“Established in 1968 by Warren and Helen McCord as a display garden for Warren's landscape architecture business, this garden has evolved into a tourist destination that draws thousands of visitors every year. We continue to be an entirely family owned and operated business and take pride in sharing our garden with you. Kula Botanical Garden is located on the slopes of Haleakala and encompasses 8 acres of colorful and unique plants, amazing rock formations, a covered bridge, waterfalls, koi pond, aviary and new attractions including the carved tiki exhibit.”
The garden has taken a massive hit from the storm. Because of the flash flood, we lost our maintenance yard, tool shed, and all our tools and equipment. Without flood insurance all the replacement and cleanup will have to be covered by us. The flash flood also ripped through the middle of the garden. It destroyed the covered bridge and koi pond.
For now, we must temporarily close the garden to the public. It will take months for us to clean up and restore the garden to what it was before the storm. We are hoping to receive donations in order to make this happen in a timely manner, so that we can open back up to the public. Anything will help us to achieve our goal. We thank you for your time, thoughts, and prayers, as well as any donations you may be able to give.
Mahalo,
McCord ‘Ohana & the Kula Botanical Garden Crew
