Guest speakers Carl and Stacy Evensen from Maka'alamihi Gardens Kāneʻohe, in Carl’s family since 1897, into native and other landscaped gardens geared toward providing education, inspiration and celebration opportunities for the public, especially children
Carl has a PhD in Agronomy and Soil Science and has been a professor in the College of Tropical Agriculture, Associate Dean of CTAHR and the Interim Director of Lyon Arboretum until he retired in 2020. Stacy has a MS in Nutritional Sciences, worked in Government Relations until 2018 and is a credentialed Master Gardener.
Using their skills and experience, Carl and Stacy use ecological landscaping design methodologies to create garden spaces to demonstrate how to cultivate an urban food forest including native plants and how to manage and consume these food crops. Maka’alamihi Gardens hosts monthly community work days so interested neighbors and friends can assist in the development of the gardens while learning how to grow, manage and eat the garden’s bounty.
