Horticulture Contest is Back!

Celebrating Keiki Growing Their Own Food 
October 2–5, 2025 
Queen Kaʻahumanu Center




The Maui County Fair Student Horticulture Contest is a celebration of keiki who grow their own food! Students in grades K–12 are encouraged to bring something they have grown at home, at school, or in a community garden. Entries may include fruits, vegetables, roots, herbs, or flowers.

Important Note for 2025:
Because the War Memorial Gym is under construction (the traditional home of the Horticulture Exhibit) and space is limited at the Queen Kaʻahumanu Center, we are not holding adult horticulture divisions this year. Instead, we are focusing exclusively on our keiki entries. This ensures that young growers still have a special showcase, and adult divisions will return when space allows in future years.
This contest is about more than ribbons — it is about recognizing effort, pride, and aloha ʻāina in caring for the land and growing food.
