Moir Garden
Here are some pictures from the famous Moir Garden, on the south coast of Kauai. The main part of the plantings are succulents and cacti, surrounding an old plantation house, which has been converted into a restaurant, with dining out on the veranda, overlooking the garden. You wouldn't think of going to Kauai to see a dry garden, but the south coast of that island gets only 34" of rain, equal to what we get here in eastern Iowa, but with a lot hotter climate, and freely draining, rocky soil. Tomorrow, I'll show the orchid portion of Moir Garden.
