I had learned about Hui Kū Maoli Ola years ago when I still lived on the mainland. I moved back…read morehome a few months ago and finally made it out to the east side to visit! Apple Maps kept trying to take me to Papahana Kualoa for some reason. Fortunately, it's a loop so if your navigation does that, just get back on to Ha'ikū Road. If you're driving makai on Ha'iku Road, the nursery driveway will be on your left shortly after passing Kahuhipa Street/the He'eia Preschool sign on your right. If you're driving mauka on Ha'ikū Road, look for the green and white Hui Kū Maoli Ola sign on your right, just before Kahuhipa Street/the He'eia Preschool sign on your left. It's a relatively small nursery but still worth a visit, especially if you're searching for or have questions about native and endemic plants. I saw other reviews that one of the staff members was rude and unhelpful but maybe there was a staffing change since then because I had a great experience. The staff member (not sure about her name but a haole lady) was very welcoming and happy to answer any questions I had. There are greenhouses towards the back but those are for their seedings not ready for sale yet so kapu unless you wanted to check out the ferns for sale in that area, then a staff member can guide you there. Otherwise, everything for sale is out in front in the open area. Sections marked with red flags are already spoken for though. There are mostly the same plants you can find at the hardware stores they sell to (City Mill, Home Depot) but I did find a kou plant which I hadn't been able to find at my local City Mill or Home Depot. They also have larger sizes of plants than they typically sell at stores. If you're interested in something but don't see it out in the nursery, don't be afraid to ask a staff member! They brought out this big 'ilima for me from the back because I didn't see any in front. I was hoping to find ko'oloa'ula too but they're still prepping the seeds. If you live far away, you could call ahead to check too. This organization does amazing work not just providing native and endemic plants for businesses and the public but also education! Their website is a wealth of knowledge, as are the staff members. I like how the plant descriptions on the signs (even at Home Depot) are written in plain language with some humor thrown in. For more info, another great resource online is Plant Pono. According to their website, Hui Kū Maoli Ola offers plant rentals for events too, though I haven't used that service.

I am not a professional gardener, so they were so helpful in explaining things I know nothing about and they have a huge selection of different plants and gardening rocks. I'm really grateful I took the drive to this magical place. In fact, I wanna go back and pick up some more. They were also really good at explaining the different types of plants the environments they do best in and it was nice going out there because they have all these other products as well like cool Buddhas I'll definitely be back and good pricing. I'd rather support a local business than the mainland ones.

The first thing you see are plants, lovely and I absolutely love them I just can't care for them...sadly not so positive for me personally but many other cool and power stones in various shapes and sizes are a fun way to create that positive space for yourself or that special someone. We all need that positive space...that zen like corner though my create flow changes from time to time and coming into the holiday season gives me more of that emotional vibe so I did circle the various corners several times searching for that item and as I did I unknowingly knocked over the broom...oops! So I quickly picked it up and propped it on a pole not even knowing as the guy whisked over to put it back into that solo upright position...WOAH! Not sure how it's standing on its own but that's just super cool for sure. I did find that item I love and know exactly where I want it to go and know it's a step forward to that positive space...surprisingly it's not a power stone. Thank you!
