It's spring time! And oh boy does my little backyard need a refresh. I've been to their plant store…read morein town before, but this is more like a garden center rather than a houseplant store. I loved looking around at all the plants. As in most places in Hawai'i, if you're prone to getting bug bites (aka me), you might wanna spray on some protection or cover up. I love that they have a mix of plants, produce, and really cute products. Everything you'd need from moss poles, spray bottles, ceramic pots of all sizes. I even got a really cute plant sticker for my water bottle.

first time to mari's garden was at one of their big events on the weekend during the summer! They…read morehad lots of plants, vendors, farm animals and cute displays all around their farm. I think they're typically not dog friendly - but i asked prior to the event if they were allowed if they were in strollers and they said yes! i did not want to make the drive over and get turned away! However, at the event itself i saw pets walking on leashes so maybe they became flexible day of? it was too hot on a summer day so poor doggies to be walking on hot pavement. :( i kept them away from the market inside and if i saw food planted on the ground etc. the food vendors had a separate area off to the side which was really hard to get to with a stroller with all the gravel so i decided to skip it too. at the event there was barely no parking - i luckily found street parking in the housing area and walked over which took about 15 minutes i think. During the event the road is super narrow and only one car can get in and out of the housing area around mari's garden.

It was faulty and I brought it back for a new one. The manager said it was heavily used and Weber would NOT warranty it. I had it less than a week!

When I asked for a total price they just gave me a rough estimate that was $200 off. I figured it was a high price anyways so I asked them to put it aside for me and I will be back.

I knew exactly what I wanted and asked them to pull it off the shelves for me please. They started to then got called off of helping me because the manager Lia/Lea/Lie told them to not sell me what I needed. It's too much paper work and they close in half hour. Come back Monday. ‍ I was willing to pay the outrageous prices today. don't worry I won't come back ever. I feel bad for the helpful staff that tried to get me what I needed and out asap. the manager told them not to sell me $600 worth of tools. So I left empty handed. So I went to Haleiwa Ace and got everything I needed without any hassle.

We were very excited to work with this nursery as we were committed to using local businesses for…read moreour North Shore wedding. We specifically went to the nursery one year in advance to look at florals meet with the designer and solidify our selections. I sent photos of my bouquet and the arrangements that I would like to have. We visited the nursery to get ideas about the size of centerpieces for the table and cocktail arrangements and ground arrangements. The nursery had a wedding that they were doing at that time and I took photos of what they had for another wedding. I expected our pieces to look very similar especially in terms of the quantity of flowers in the arrangements. The wedding photo inspirations that I gave to the nursery were directly from a previous wedding that they had done. It was very clear what I wanted my bouquet to look like and our flower arrangements. In addition we added a few other flowers after visiting the nursery, including pink gingers. This was something especially important that my Fiance wanted added to the arrangements. My bouquet arrived and looked like a bridesmaid bouquet. It was about half the size of the bouquet that I had wanted that this nursery had previously done for another bride. The florist did rework it on the spot to make it more align with my vision however it was missing purple orchids, which was something I wanted in the arrangement. I had no communication from the nursery that this flower would be missing off of my order. In addition, I did not see my table arrangements until 10 minutes prior to the wedding as I had a coordinator setting up. I was very disappointed in the arrangements as they had minimal flowers in the arrangements. Many of the flowers, including the ginger were missing from the arrangements despite the fact that I told them that was important to us. Again, there was no conversation about missing flowers. When I called to try to reconcile this, Karen was apologetic and said that their order had fallen short that week on delivery from their wholesaler. And that they had three other weddings and that the delivery of flowers was not up to standard. The owner of the nursery Kathy at first was kind, but then was extraordinarily rude condescending and gaslighted me as the problem. This is despite the fact I had very specific photos of my vision and very specific photos of what I was given, which were too very different things. The owner made me feel like I was the problem person in this equation, despite having very clear expectations for my wedding. I would not recommend working with this nursery not only did they fall short, but the owner could not be more rude.
