History
The gardens were created in the 1930s by Alexandra Moir while her husband was manager of Hawaii's first sugarcane plantation, Koloa Plantation, near the site.[2] By 1948 the private gardens were reportedly identified as "one of the ten best cactus and succulent gardens in the world." They opened to the public in 1954.

gollark: I have not actually tried this. It should work okay, as long as you can somehow split up the WAL and main data thing.
gollark: SQLite on bare metal, actually.
