Encephalartos Inopinus, a unique plant at Foster Botanical Garden Foster Botanical Garden has been entered on the National Register of Historic Places. Foster Garden traces its beginning to 1853 when Queen Kalama leased a small area of land to William Hillebrand, a young German doctor. A botanist as well as a physician, he and his wife built a home in the upper terrace area of the present garden. The magnificent trees which now tower over this area were planted by him.
