Extremely well curated, focus on species of practical use to native Hawaiian culture
Maui Nui Botanical Gardens的点评
点评:So I will start by saying my wife is really into botany, but it isn't really my thing normally. I'm happy to look at the odd interesting plant, but if there is something I'm curious about I usually just ask her, and tend not to learn much of it myself. This is a somewhat unconventional garden, with a strong focus on how various plants were practically used by native Hawaiians. They have an app, as well as QR codes on each plant you can use to look up the details. Each plant includes whether the plant is endemic, a polynesian import or newer, and whether they exist outside of Hawaii. Then each has a detailed section on how the plant was put to practical use. The effort they put into curating all of this information and making it easily available is tremendous. While this isn't an all day thing, I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to.
翻译:首先我要说的是,我妻子非常喜欢植物学,但这通常不是我的菜。我很乐意观察一些稀奇古怪的有趣植物,但如果有什么让我好奇的,我通常只会问她,而我自己往往不会去学习太多。这是一个有点不落俗套的花园,重点关注夏威夷原住民是如何实际利用各种植物的。他们有一个应用程序,每株植物上都有二维码,你可以用它们来查找详细信息。每株植物都标明了它是特有的、波利尼西亚引进的还是较新的,以及它们是否存在于夏威夷以外。然后,每株植物都有一个详细的部分,介绍它是如何投入实际用途的。他们为整理所有这些信息并使其易于获取付出了巨大的努力。虽然这不需要一整天的时间,但我比预期的要享受得多。
