Volunteer gardening

Do you have a green thumb? Do you like puttering in the garden while listening to your favorite podcast on your earbuds? Well, then, the Sugar Museum has an opportunity for you!

We are seeking individuals or groups to plant, weed, prune, trim, rake and water on our beautiful historic museum grounds, directly across the street from the historic sugar mill.

Be transported back in time as you work in a serene little patch of green flanked by the last two original Puunene camp homes constructed in 1902. This is a great opportunity to connect with nature and contribute to the care of the Sugar Museum, which is a community resource.

Days and times available are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, between the hours of 9-2. Please inquire about Saturday work. This is a great opportunity for groups, clubs, teams, families.

Closed toed shoes required. Wear a hat and protective clothing. We have some tools and supplies available to lend. To sign up or for more information, please reply to this opportunity. Thank you!

About Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum

Location:

3957 Hansen Road, P.O. Box 125, Puunene, HI 96784, US

Mission Statement

The Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum is a 501 c3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the history and heritage of the sugar industry and the multi-ethnic plantation life which it engendered.

Description

The story of sugar on Maui is told at the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum. We are the primary resource for information on the history of the sugar industry and its cultural heritage. We are located across from the1902 Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. mill (now closed) in what was once the thriving plantation town of Puunene. The museum is housed in one of the few historic buildings remaining from that era and contains exhibits about one of the most significant and influential periods in the Islands’ history. It presents information about the sugar industry, depicts sugar’s influence on the development of Maui’s water resources, and describes plantation community life and the multi-ethnic immigrants who came here to work for the plantations. It also features displays on the inner workings of a sugar mill.
