Asparagus work day
Hawaii Agriculture Research Center
We will be trimming back our plants, removing weeds, and adding compost and amendments. This is a great opportunity to learn about growing Asparagus! If we find an excess of keiki plants, all helpers can take one home and try growing some asparagus!
Hawaii Agriculture Research Center
About the organizer
Founded in 1895, the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association (HSPA), dedicated to improving the sugar industry in Hawaii, has become an internationally recognized research center.
It was in 1996 when HSPA expanded its research interest besides sugarcane and acquired its current name Hawaii Agriculture Research Center (HARC), expanding its research on tropical crops and forests. Standing now as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, HARC’s research and education interest encompasses forestry, coffee, cacao, forages, vegetable crops, tropical fruits, and other diversified crops.
Our mission is to support a viable agricultural sector by researching and applying relevant science and technology to achieve practical solutions and identify new agricultural opportunities.
