Bioprocessing Medicinal Garden Complex

The Bioprocessing Medicinal Garden Complex is located across from the Hale Imiloa building and was dedicated on June 18, 2007.

It consists of 3 facilities: the medicinal garden (containing plants from Asia, the Pacific, and America), the aquaponic system, and the bioprocessing facility.

The complex is supported through the grants from USDA-CSREES (Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service) and USDA-SPEC (Secondary and Two-Year Post secondary Agriculture Education Challenge).

The medicinal plants grown organically in the garden and in the aquaponic system are processed into bioproducts in the bioprocessing facility.

For more information, contact Dr. Ingelia White at (808) 236-9102.
