We toured the grounds in an ATV, <br /> starting with the newly fenced <br /> "Upper Parcel;"which is not <br /> contiguous with the rest of the <br /> garden (TMK: 8-2-14:43, 1.13 acres). <br /> Weed suppression using a shade <br /> " cloth helps to keep the lot clear <br /> while waiting for future expansion of <br /> the plant nursery.The overgrown <br /> ° part of the lot with tall trees on it is <br /> a large burial mound which has been <br /> archaeologically surveyed, and its <br /> Burial Treatment Plan is currently <br /> � under review with the State Historic <br /> Preservation Division (SHPD) burial <br /> sites program. Kuaiwi that are part <br /> of the Kona Field System are covered <br /> by the shade cloth and are also <br /> found in other parts of the garden. <br /> They and all other historic/cultural sites are kept intact, and an archaeologist monitors whenever work is done that might <br /> impact sites. <br /> We did not see the Pa'ikapahu Heiau on TMK 8-2-15:59,which is also not contiguous with the main garden grounds. <br /> Until archaeological work and SHPD approval(s) are obtained,work around the heiau will be limited to weed suppression <br /> s e and removal in <br /> consultation with <br /> Native Hawaiians <br /> F, <br /> of the area. <br /> „ <br /> w <br /> We ran out of time <br /> to view several <br /> i _ other buildings <br /> � which are being <br /> used for plant <br /> propagation and <br /> storage. We also <br /> ��.. didn't have time to <br /> talk with the <br /> garden's <br /> horticulturist and <br /> plant nursery <br /> technician. No <br /> doubt we would <br /> " have benefitted <br /> from those missed <br /> m <br /> opportunities. <br /> 2 <br />
