The Foster Botanical Garden in downtown Honolulu began in 1853 as the residence of William Hillebrand who planted many of the trees that adorn the property today. Thomas Foster acquired the property many years later and continued to add to the collection of tropical plants. The Foster family donated the property to the city of Honolulu in 1930. Today it is a magnificent collection of tropical plants from around the world.
