If you’re interested in this, the garden below is very worth visiting.

https://ntbg.org/gardens/limahuli

It’s built into sections - plants from before any humans landed in Hawaii, plants from early settlers, plants from the plantation period, etc.

My favorite learning was canoe plants (maybe a different name) - plants that early settlers would bring with them when exploring new islands in their canoe that were critical to their survival. They provided food, medicine, etc.

Try the first chapter of James Michener's "Hawaii". It tells a tale of huge catamarans laden with plants, pigs, and other starters for new outposts of a daring seafaring culture.
