Memories of Majestyit is a beautiful Hawaiian day. four thousand lei-bedecked guests dressed in their finest garments

gather around the specially built pavilion, its pillars decorated with ropes of fern and flowers. the amphitheater where they patiently await the appearance of the guests of honor is decorated

with the shields and emblems of the great nations of the world. inhale the fragrance of pikake, roses, gardenia and maile. Hear the music of the royal Hawaiian band as it plays the songs of the

royal composers.

the palace, a splendid edifice built to Victorian standards of elegance, is awash in golden sunshine. its richly carpeted throne room awaits the guests who will feast at the state dinner and waltz at the coronation ball. the symbols of royalty are everywhere: beautiful feathered cloaks, capes and kahili alongside stately thrones and bejeweled crowns ordered from europe. the ali‘i

men are impressive in their military dress festooned with medals of the royal orders; the women resplendent in holoku of silk and velvet, or gowns in the latest fashion from Paris and new york.

diamonds and pearls sparkle in the sunlight.

it is coronation day, 1883. in the two weeks that follow there will be celebrations of many varieties: parades, lu‘au, a canoe regatta, hula, sporting and chorale competitions, fireworks

displays, and the unveiling of the Kamehameha statue fronting Ali‘iolani Hale. within the palace, gifts from near and far will be displayed for all to see: koa calabashes, portraits of

european monarchs, Copeland china sent by england’s Queen Victoria, a silver service and candelabra from the emperor of france among them.

the coronation celebration for the charismatic and idealistic King david Kalakaua and his Queen Kapi‘olani marked the height of Victorian splendor in Hawai‘i. Having experienced the pageantry and majesty of the world’s great kingdoms, Kalakaua set out to provide his reign with a similar symbolic impact. enlightenment was the theme of his reign and the kukui the symbol of his dynasty. Kalakaua’s reign completed the transformation of the Hawaiian islands from

traditional Polynesian chiefdom to contemporary european kingdom. the story that unfolds as that ninety-year transformation takes place is both complex and captivating - a study in

contrasts, a juxtaposition of old and new.

take a step back in time with us as we voyage with the ali‘i to foreign ports, enjoy entertaining distinguished guests from around the world in royal residences and gardens, and learn of

friendships and alliances cultivated with european monarchs and American Presidents. reflect for a moment on this fascinating period in Hawaiian history as Na Pua Ali‘i, Reflections on Hawai‘i ’s

Royal Legacy recalls the romance, elegance, adventure, and pioneering spirit of that special era.

* Pua can mean flowers, children, people, or descendants. Ali‘i refers to the ruling monarchs of Hawai‘i.

SPECIAL EXHIBITSEducational Exhibit I

NA KiHAPAi PuA ALi‘i, The Gardens of the Ali ‘i Hawaiian rulers customarily owned several homes, each sited to enjoy the advantages of a particular climate. Historic records describe royal homes and gardens located mauka in the cool, wet uplands, makai in the drier, warmer areas near the ocean, and in the kula lands between those extremes. these histories further note that the ali‘i cultivated plants native to their culture as well as those brought by voyagers, scientists and settlers to Hawai‘i in the 1800s – a period of amazing introduced diversity, both cultural and botanic.

the Hawaiian manner of planting followed the ahupua‘a, with plants grown according to the varied climactic conditions found from mountain to ocean. At Garden Club of Honolulu flower Shows, the most commonly asked question is, “Can i grow this plant where i live?” this exhibit’s intent therefore is twofold: first to note the importance of preserving historical records of significant homes and gardens, and second to educate by demonstrating the concept of “right Plant, right Place” using royal homes and gardens as the demonstration vehicle. the exhibit is based on information found in writings from the 1800s and on current information provided by GCH members with gardens in similar locations. we hope the exhibit will inspire show visitors to keep histories of their own gardens and to embrace the concept of “right Plant, right Place” as they plant their gardens.

Educational Exhibit II CoNTiNuiNg To PLANT foR A BETTER fuTuREin 2004, the Garden Club of Honolulu received $25,000 from the Garden Club of America for its founders fund project “Planting for a better future.” the project’s purpose was to establish a program at the womens Community Correctional Center, the Hawai‘i State prison for women. Garden Club members and community educators teach the inmates marketable skills including the cultivation of nursery plants, designing of floral arrangements and lei, and the management of a lo‘i where kalo is grown in the traditional Hawaiian manner. this popular GCH project continues to enjoy success, and in fact has expanded. Construction of the lo‘i was completed and the first kalo harvested in 2008. A lei and cutting garden is in process, and classes in horticulture, floral arrangement and lei making continue to be offered. this exhibit showcases components of the program.

the Horticulture segment will feature the ‘ulu or breadfruit, a staple of the Hawaiian diet, planted and grown by the inmates. After the show, the trees will be replanted in the area surrounding the lo‘i to be nurtured and harvested by the women for many generations to come! the exhibit will also feature flowers nurtured and harvested by the inmates and mosaic pavers in simple floral designs, that they created from broken tiles and cement pavers. the inmates have embraced the idea of “taking something broken and making something beautiful” as a reflection of the possibilities in their own lives. Photo and storyboards will further demonstrate the progress of this unique and meaningful founder’s fund project.
