Na'ohulelua Historical Garden seeks Contingency Relief Funding to restore critical infrastructure damaged by
Hurricane Lala.This historical garden serves as a cultural and ecological landmark in our community, preserving
native plant species and traditional Hawaiian gardening practices that connect residents to their heritage.
Hurricane-force winds and flooding caused extensive damage across three priority areas that require immediate
attention: water system repairs, shade house repairs,and debris removal.The garden's irrigation infrastructure
was severely compromised,with broken pipes, damaged pumps, and collapsed water catchment systems. Without
functional water delivery, native plants essential to the garden's ecological mission face mortality risk during dry
seasons. Repair costs include replacing piping, installing pumps, and recalibrating the system. Additionally,the
shade structure protecting delicate young specimens was torn apart, leaving vulnerable plants exposed to harsh
sunlight and wind. Reconstruction involves rebuilding frame supports, replacing shade cloth, and reinforcing
anchoring systems to withstand future extreme weather events. Lastly,fallen branches, displaced soil,and
scattered building materials litter walkways and planting beds, creating safety hazards and hindering visitor access.
Clearing this debris is essential to reopening the site for educational programs and community gatherings.This
investment will restore the garden's functionality and strengthen its resilience against future storms. As a historical
site, Na'ohulelua holds irreplaceable cultural value—repairing its infrastructure protects both living plant collections
and the intangible knowledge shared through gardening demonstrations and workshops. With the grant, we can
complete all three recovery phases within 90 days and return this beloved space to the community it serves.

Community Impact: Restore access to a culturally significant site.Targets include reopening the garden within 90
days, hosting at least four educational or cultural gatherings in the following six months, and serving more than
100 community members. (7)Accountability: Track every expenditure against the approved budget, retain receipts
for all line items, and submit a final report documenting completed repairs, volunteer hours, plant survival, and
before-and-after photographs. Every outcome is verifiable,time-bound, and tied to a budget line, ensuring
transparency and demonstrating that each dollar delivers tangible recovery for Na'ohulelua Historical Garden and
Kau.
