The site was established more than 150 years ago when Queen Kalama gifted a plot of land to William Hillebrand, a physician and botanist. After the doctor returned to Germany, 20 years later, the property was sold to Captain Thomas Foster and his wife Mary for the whom the garden is now named.

Here are a few images taken at the garden on February 1, 2009.

From Lumahai Street you’d never know there was a path to this place. But it’s just a short walk from the road down a steep and narrow pathway. Carefully make your way down as it can be dangerous even when dry.

This is a view of Diamond Head from behind. Not a common side. To the right are luxurious homes. From this location whales can be seen passing.

The wok fried whole fish is awesome, which we’ve ordered the previous two times we had dinner at Hoku’s. This time it was onaga. I forgot to take a photo of the seafood tower appetizer. And the chocolate dessert was more than we could handle.
