Gardening Demonstrations in East Hawaii
Monday, November 6th at 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm.
Laupahoehoe Public Library
35-2065 Old Mamalahoa
Why.
Laupahoehoe, HI 96764
Why is gardening important for health and longevity? Centenarians from most of the Blue Zones® grow or once grew a home garden. Gardening is a source of daily physical activity that exercises the body with a wide range of motion and helps reduce stress. It's also a near-constant source of fresh vegetables. Additionally, Okinawans maintained medicinal gardens, which included mugwort, ginger, and turmeric- all have proven medicinal qualities. By consuming these every day, Okinawans may be protecting themselves against illness.

Laird Hamilton is perhaps the greatest big wave surfer of all time, a living legend who has tamed some of the world's mightiest waves. Amongst the surf community, he is also one of the most controversial figures, and innovator who has revolutionized the sport often to the dismay of purists. This thrilling, up-close portrait traces Hamilton's remarkable journey, from his rebellious childhood in Hawai'i to his fearless first forays into surfing to his relentless pursuit of ever-bigger waves, a quest that ultimately led him to conquer what's been called "the heaviest wave ever ridden."
