Starting at 10 a.m. the Royal Societies will enter with protocol at the Queen’s portrait. More than 600 hula dancers will follow with mass hula as floral blossoms are dropped from a helicopter provided by Paradise Helicopters.

Live entertainment throughout the day will be provided by Darlene Ahuna, Taishoji Taiko, Just Us Band, Christy Lassiter, and Ben Kaili & Kanakapila. Emcees will be Penny Vredenburg, Darde Gamayo, and Ku`ehu Mauga.

Among new demonstrations this year are a native plant booth and lei making. Hawaiian games on the western side of the park are organized by Hoolahui Pakipika from Kamehameha Schools. Liliuokalani Trust will have children’s activities in a large tent at the center of the gardens. A bouncing castle and water slide will be available in the meadow to the southern side of the park.

Genki Hou Waihonu

Posted on December 4, 2022 by usjapanesegardens

A collaborative effort of community organizations, schools, and local businesses seeks to bring bioremediation to Waihonu, the traditional fish pond at the heart of Lili`uokalani Gardens in Hilo.

Genki Hou – making healthy again – is the theme of this effort utilizing indigenous micro organisms to eat sludge that has accumulated in Waihonu in places as much as three feet deep.

The effort is based on the success of bokashi balls in a fish pond on the Kona coast and, perhaps more widely known, the success in the Ala Wai Canal in Honolulu. Here is a link to that effort:

Home

Bokashi is a general term in Japanese for fermented organic matter. Genki is a Japanese term meaning well, healthy, robust.

Friends of Lili`uokalani Gardens first heard of the potential for bokashi balls at a meeting of Hui Loko Ia, a group of fish pond guardians and caretakers on Hawai`i Island under the umbrella of The Nature Conservancy. Hui Loko Ia met in Lili`uokalani Gardens in November 2019. In mid-2021, the Hawaiian Airlines inflight magazine Hana Hou carried a story on utilizing bokashi balls to clean the Ala Wai canal in Honolulu. Copies of the magazine were distributed to Friends of Lili`uokalani Gardens board members, County Parks & Recreation administration, and others with a stake in cleaning the pond.

During the summer of 2022, Susie Osborne president of Rotary Club of Pahoa took the lead in organizing other Rotary Clubs to adopt a bokashi ball long term project to benefit the community by cleaning Waihonu. Kua O Ka La Charter School is involved as a location for making the balls and providing storage in a greenhouse during the curing period. An educational element will be offered to other schools.

The first manufacture day was in early November at which 50 people attended and 1,000 balls were made. The second manufacture day was December 3 at which 40 people attended and 700 balls were set aside for the late December ball toss.

Bokashi balls exhibit a white bloom indicating the micro organisms have been activated. A bucket of material was provided to each of seven test sites.

Rotarians from east Hawai`i and Hiroshima joined County officials and Friends of Lili`uokalani Gardens Saturday, December 3, to toss the first batch of 700 balls into Waihonu. Each of 100 people present tossed a minimum of three balls into Waihonu, shouting “Genki Hou” with each toss. The theme name was developed by Councilmember and Rotarian Susan Lee Loy.

Several participants tossed more bokashi balls for complete coverage of seven test sites in the northern section of the pond from the iconic arched stone bridge to the stone wall along Lihiwai Street. Seven control sites and the test sites will be measured and tested over the next several months.

Site 1 at 5 p.m. Saturday. By 11:30 a.m. Sunday, all the balls had sunk.

“This is part of a greater plan to restore Waihonu,” said Friends of Lili`uokalani Gardens president K.T. Cannon-Eger. “Removal of invasive seaweed and repair of crumbling pond walls are two more major elements of a plan that will take approximately five years to accomplish. The end result will be a healthy and productive fish pond for generations to come.”

The second Genki Hou Waihonu ball toss happened immediately prior to Garden Enchantment, the 6th annual illumination of the gardens, on Friday December 23 at 5 p.m.

The next Genki Hou Waihonu ball toss will take place on Earth Day, Saturday April 22, in the afternoon at 4:30 p.m.

Quiet Volunteers Catch up on Deferred Maintenance

Posted on January 3, 2021 by usjapanesegardens

With all of the public health precautions, public gardens the world over have faced closures, financial challenges, and in some cases deferred maintenance.

Some public gardens have used the closure time to accomplish long awaited improvements. The Japanese garden at Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, used the time to reset large stones along a path and repair a hillside.

Lili`uokalani Gardens in Hilo experienced a little of both deferred maintenance and long awaited improvement. Thanks to the quiet actions of several volunteer groups, several deferred maintenance projects are being brought current since July.

Here are some of the more recent tasks.

In early November, students on a gap semester tour of Hawaii spent four days in Lili`uokalani Gardens. One of the tasks was renewing the azalea bed near Shoroan, the Urasenke Society of Hilo tea house. All sod removed from this area was moved to the meadow to build up eroded soil around the base of the large stones set by Kazuo Nakamura in 1976.

After removing sod and weeds, the soil was amended and holes dug for new plantings. Then the bed was fertilized and topped with bark mulch.

A week after the students upgraded the azalea patch, Rotary Club of Hilo celebrated their centennial by planting 100 trees and bushes in Hilo, including two azalea in this patch.. Mahalo Wally Wong and Nancy Cabral.

Hilo Visayan Club joined in the fun for the first time taking two Sundays of members’ valuable time. First, the sumo ring was cleaned from ceiling to floor.

The following Sunday, a larger crew joined to paint the rafters and posts.

Friends of Lili`uokalani Gardens provided the paint and Hilo Visayan Club provided the painters

at the end of the day, the entire interior plus the picnic table had new coats of paint

meanwhile, across the park, the Lions tended to the Lions Legacy Project, pulling weeds along the sidewalk, pressure washing the sidewalk, thinning the iris hillside, cleaning white stones, and several other chores

separate groups (save for this group photograph) of no more than five accomplished a variety of tasks at the Lions Legacy Project in the southern shaded section of Lili`uokalani Gardens

For more information, please see the Friends of Lili`uokalani Gardens page on Facebook. Web page is under construction.

Annualy, members gather to clean the large stone lantern gifted by the prefecture of Fukushima in 1968 to celebrate the centennial of Gannenmono (the first organized group of Japanese immigrants). The Tanabata Festival is observed.

The star festival is observed in July or August, depending on the prefecture. Wishes or poetry are written on small pieces of paper and tied to bamboo.

This year, pre-registration is necessary as group size is limited. Other rules in effect through July 31 include: Wearing of masks and observing physical distancing is required. Hand sanitizer will be provided. Sharing of tools will not be allowed. Bring your own tools from home. Also bring your water bottle.

Fukushima Kenjinkai will gather by the large stone lantern on Saturday, July 11, at 8 a.m. Advance registration must be done with Winston Towata. Please contact him at wwtowata@hawaiiantel.net or phone 959-0425.

All over the world, people are staying home to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. Museums, public parks and gardens (and much more) are closed some indefinitely, some through the end of April at least.
