Ikebana International Chapter 56 took a tour of the Wahiawa Botanical Garden. Following the tour we enjoyed a bento lunch and then learned how to make ti leaf lei using the wiliwili or twisting method. The lei we made will join hundreds of others to be placed on veteran graves for Memorial Day. A few people even managed to make ti leaf rosettes.
