Sacred Garden of Maliko

The Sacred Garden of Maliko is a plant nursery and quiet garden sanctuary on Kaluanui Road in Maui, near Makawao. Wander among tropical plants, flowers, ponds and symbolic displays, then pause in a meditation garden or walk one of the labyrinths. Wind chimes, places to sit and singing bowls add to the calm atmosphere. Entry is free, with donations welcome; plants and fish are also available to buy. It makes a peaceful alternative to a beach stop, with events and classes listed on the garden’s website.

Gardens and places for reflection

The Sacred Garden brings a nursery together with a sanctuary for quiet reflection. Its grounds include varied plants and flowers, meditation gardens, ponds and displays that use objects such as old typewriters. A large Buddha statue is among the garden’s focal points.

The two walking labyrinths offer a slow route through the grounds. There are chairs and couches for resting, along with singing bowls and a gong that visitors can use. Wind chimes add sound to the garden, and shelves of books provide another way to spend a quiet pause.

A nursery with events and classes

Plants and fish are available to buy, and the garden also hosts events and classes. School-age groups can visit on field trips. Check the garden’s website for current event details before setting out; full moon nights are among the events mentioned.

Entry does not cost anything, and donations are welcome. The garden is at 460 Kaluanui Road in Makawao. Parking is in a small lot, so an early arrival can help when spaces are limited.
