Free plants, parking and admission are all on tap, in an event organized by the Kauai Landscape Industry Council, a project of Garden Island Resource Conservation &Development. It’s an event that’s been held since 2006, and offers plants and education.
“Arbor Day is a family event, and one of the most popular attractions is the keiki zone,” said Amanda Skelton, who is helping organize the event. “(Anyone) can transplant herb and veggie seedlings to take home.”
A limit of three plants per family has been set for the free plant and tree giveaway.
