International Vireya Seminar - February 22, 2014

Come join us next winter on the Big Island of Hawaii. Leave the snow and the storms behind and come join us as we explore the latest information about growing Vireyas around the world. There will be garden tours, hikes in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and entertainment on Sunday. Don't forget the Humpback Whales spend their winters in the Hawaiian Islands. There were 50 whales in Hilo Bay this February. Last, but not least, Kilauea Volcano has been erupting continuously for the past 30 years. There are many reasons to come to the Big Island and the International Vireya Seminar is just one more reason to stop by and say ALOHA.
