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.

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.

Koolau Farmers is a locally owned/operated nursery and garden supply business that are home…read moregardening experts. It was started in 1938 by East Oahu farmers and a Kailua papaya cooperative as a farmer-founded business entity that shifted from farming to home gardening. Today, it supplies plants, floral arrangements, fertilizers, pesticides, garden tools, etc. for home gardeners. There are currently two locations for Koolau Farmers: Kaneohe and Honolulu (McCully). This review is for the Honolulu location. Items that the McCully location carry include: bromeliads, flowers, fruit, orchids, palms, fruit trees, peppers, tropical fruits, shrubs, soil, trees, veggies, hono hono orchids, dwarf fruit trees (Meyer lemon, Tahitian limes, Naval oranges, jabong, grafted mango, avocado). It also offers seed starting supplies, fertilizers for plants and flowers, worm composting bins; and info re growing and care of indoor potted plants, organic gardening, soil testing, and proper lighting. What brought us to Koolau Farmers is my lilikoi vine that I've had in my back yard for a number of years. With the help of bees, the vine had flourished and produced many delicious fruits for homemade lilikoi desserts, such as lilikoi chiffon pie, lilikoi curd, lilikoi bars, and more. But in recent years, the flowers would bloom, but because there are no bees to pollinate the lilikoi flowers, no fruits are produced. Questions to Koolau Farmers confirmed that there is a lack of nesting sites for carpenter bees (I think they're known as the black bumblebees that we no longer see) to pollinate the lilikoi flowers, resulting in a lack of fruit. According to Koolau Farmers, the flowers must be hand-pollinated instead. Staff provided instructions to my hubby on how to hand-pollinate the beautiful lilikoi flowers. A work in progress, and I'm sure more questions to follow. Then the next project will be our dwarf local orange tree. Where is the fruit? There's a single tiny orange on it, yes, only one! Hope Koolau Farmers can help us on this one! Another work in progress. Staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and provides helpful guidance. An unlikely spot in urban Honolulu to have a nursery and garden supply store, but I'm glad that it's there! The interior space is not that big, but houses boxes of fertilizers and various home gardening equipment for home gardeners. There may be displays of seasonal items on how to grow certain plants, such as hono hono orchids. Open daily from 8a to 5p. Free parking in the private lot. On the outside private lot are scattered variety of healthy local plants, herbs, orchids, and fruit trees. We look forward in working with Koolau Farmers and knowing that they are there to help us with our home gardening needs!

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.

There isn't much space, but they had a variety of beautiful plants, all organized neatly on display. Prices were also reasonable compared to other shops I've visited on Oʻahu. Since it's a small shop, there was only one worker when we visited. We did feel a little overwhelmed at first while looking for the specific plants my friend wanted, but eventually we were able to ask questions when the worker was free. She was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the plants they had for sale. My friend found two of the plants on their list, but the other one wasn't available due to the shop's limited space. The worker checked the main garden in Mililani and confirmed they had it there, which was super helpful. Overall, this is a gem in the Honolulu area and a really enjoyable experience. I ended up picking out a plant for myself as well. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and into plants!
