My serenity place. Love taking trips to Garden Exchange to see all the new plants they have for both indoors and outdoors. Always great quality of plants with a variety to choose from so it never fails when I walk out with a plant or two or three.

Tammy and everyone else there is awesome! We had been looking for these Norfolk's everywhere...Tammy found them for us in 30 minutes from a local grower. So helpful and so much Aloha!!! Our favorite hilo store

Interior but the garden exterior is the place to be

You'd think with the name Paradise Plants that there would be a welcoming energy of Aloha....Just…read morethe opposite- an uptight owner with a negative attitude. I was told by a gentleman who was in charge of garden pots that I could buy some pots at a sale price bc there were just a few left, so I did and love them. Came back to buy the two that were left and the owner refused to honor his sales price, saying they were new and he shouldn't have done that. I left, remembering that it was not just a bad day for her but that previously she refused to let my service dog on he premises even though we had been there a few other times. Just such a buzzkill and not a place I recommend

We have purchased many pieces of furniture, plants, art and decor from Paradise Plants over the years. Objectively speaking we have come to realize over time that our purchases from Paradise Plants were all superior in quality and often times the same price as the pieces we bought from other stores both on-island and the ones we had shipped to the island that were far inferior in look and build quality. We purchased some pretty beds from Home World. They look great, however they are very cheaply made and we have had to rebuild all of the internal parts to make them stronger as they all broke in the first year. This was a great expense. Home World sells particle board junk. We noticed the beds we purchased from Paradise Pants had solid aluminum supports instead of cheap particle board. They are all super sturdy and look amazing and were the same price as the Home World particle board junk. Paradise Plants sells quality, unique, indoor furniture at excellent prices. Bamboo and Teak down the road is also good, but mostly used stuff so a bit like shopping at a garage sale, but sometimes you get lucky. Paradise Plants has new, gorgeous pieces every time we go in all at a good price. They also have an excellent outdoor furniture brand called Lagoon that is perfect for the environment here on the island. So far, It's the only outdoor furniture that has survived at our salty oceanfront locations and our corrosive Volcano location. That brand of outdoor furniture is Puna proof! It has no steel to get rusty and is all strong durable plastics and/or non-corroding aluminum. Very happy with quality and price as none of these end up in a landfill after 1-2 years like every other brand we tried. From price, quality/longevity, beauty of pieces, to their excellent customer service and ability to deliver and setup all pieces and have a great customer experience, you won't find a better store that is locally owned and operated employing great local people.

Fun outside wall made of…read moresurfboards, a really helpful young man who gave us the rundown/layout of the gardens/offered to help, reasonable prices, and then a huge variety of plants! Some of the plants looked like they needed a little more love, but they had a bunch of hibiscus colors I hadn't seen before (which was awesome), some indoor plants, a large variety of palms, and fruit trees!

Used to be better in types of plants and quality of plants. Heard them say when walking around the…read morenursery - oh these don't look so good because someone didn't water them or used wrong concentration of neem oil. This alerted me but, I gave them credit because I had purchased from the nursery over several years. It was the staff that encouraged us to use them for design and installation work. Use caution as they say they have or can get or do and then back out. Sad to relay this message but true experience. Realize it is hard to find staff which makes committing to a schedule difficult, but dragging a customer on was not a good approach. I'm a positive reviewer type, want to help out local businesses over WalMart. Hard to write this but feel others should go in aware in the hope they have a better experience. The nursery has limited hours, not necessarily the hours posted. Went by several times when they were supposed to be open but were closed.
