hi Mitzi,
since your a gardening buff...my all time favorite is linahuli garden preserve (sp) west of hanalei all native gardens...allerton/lawai/mcbrde in poipu area, then Na-aina Kai in the northeast (private estate)all amazing gardens - the free botanical garden in kapaa is also beautiful to go upcountry to....one of my favorite things to do is rent a kayak and go kayaking up the wailua river and if you follow other kayakers theres a point where everyone lands and takes a hike to an amazing waterfall back country area....just amazing....my other favorite is hiking waimea canyon to the cascading waterfall -its about a 2 hour hike and amazing views of the entire area.
enjoy,
noel
