WBG has been open since July 4, 1995, as a botanical garden destination on the Big Island of Hawaii. We now proudly exhibit the largest variety of plants in the state of Hawaii with more than 5000 species. The chosen site included the previously concealed triple-tiered 300 foot waterfall now known as Umauma Falls. The falls are acclaimed by many visitors to be the most beautiful waterfalls in the state of Hawaii. In addition to the waterfalls the rainforest walk is arguably the most peaceful place in the Gardens.
World Botanical Gardens is planning to grow the garden sanctuary to over 30,000 species. Other plans for the Gardens includes development of a visitor center, which will contain a gift shop, snack bar, and restrooms.
