I tried looking for it my self & couldn't find it. All he did was was point me to the isle. When I told him I needed help in finding it cuz I've looked... He said he was busy helping someone else. It was an elder Japanese man that was on the sales floor. 1. He was rude...2. He doesn't know how to work with more than 1 customer at a time. 3. He also made me feel that my business ( my money) was not worth anything. Well, I try to help local businesses vs big box retailers. This local store definitely doesn't want local business by the way they treat local people. I left very upset & will be going to hardware Hawaii for all of my future purchases.

There's lots of free parking and carts are available to easily gather all the items you need. Aisles are wide enough to browse with your cart too. Majority of our gardening needs have been met here. We are so pleased that they sell locally made potting soil, compost, and even native plants. From time to time, we had small projects around the house and City Mill carried what we needed. They have a variety of home improvement products that are similar to a national chain, so why not support the local shop :)

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!

Don't expect a Home Depot or an organized, super neat store like surrounding. The displays of plants are everywhere and you really can find some beautiful gems. Bring cash and mosquito repellent and a hat as it gets very hot. This nursery is an experience and really what Hawaii used to be. The service is matter a fact and genuine. You see a lot of chickens and a feral pig that is not to be touched. There are so many local plants..anything you are looking for. Walk the aisles and just wander looking at all the fruit trees, flowers, and whatever else native to the islands. Treat the trip as a nature walk to explore old Hawaii and you can buy almost anything. We found beautiful yuzu trees..felt so happy with our purchase. Enjoy the experience and keep an open mind and open heart.

CocoNene International Market Place is the cutest shop ever!…read more This shop specializes in Hawaii-made home decor, arts and gifts. They partner with local artists to create some very unique designs and everything is made with great care and high quality. I think my favorite part about this store is that you can customize your own frame. You first select the base size, then pick the frame and you can select additional wooden elements for decoration. They turn out very cute and I think it makes it a very memorable souvenir. Besides the frames, they also have amazing art pieces and smaller gift items like magnets and coasters. They also have a very nice selection of Christmas ornaments which I think are way better than the ones they sell at the Christmas stores in Waikiki. If you want a unique and high quality souvenir from your time in Oahu. I definitely recommend checking out this store!

They have an impressive selection of orchids, including plenty of mature plants that are ready to make a beautiful addition to any collection. The customer service is excellent. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, whether you're looking for something specific, need advice on caring for a plant, or have questions about shipping. That level of service really makes the experience enjoyable and keeps me coming back. One of the biggest advantages for visitors to Hawaii is that you can make arrangements to have your orchids shipped home, so you don't have to navigate the agricultural permit requirements yourself. It makes bringing a little piece of Hawaii's orchid culture home much easier. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and selection. Whether you're a seasoned orchid collector or just starting out, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. It's well worth the visit for any orchid enthusiast!
