Island Ecology Garden Plant List
The Island Ecology garden features plants of oceanic islands from around the world. Oceanic islands often feature unique adaptations due to their isolation, such as larger, heavier seed, woody growth, showy flowers, and more. Channel Islands, Canary Islands, New Caledonia, Hawaii, and St. Helena Island are just a few represented in this garden.
