I was not looking at prices, but quality was top notch.

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!

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.

What brought me here to the Kea'au Shopping Center???…read more Oh yeah, I came here just for one store...........Foodland!!! While working in Hilo yesterday, when it was lunch time I decided to visit an old skool drive-in called "K's Drive In", and if you thought that little shrimp burger I ate for lunch was enough sustenance for Bruddah Fran, then you thought wrong!!! Lol! And that's why later in the afternoon I had to drive all the way to Kea'au town to stop by this little shopping complex called - "Kea'au Shopping Center", just to visit the Foodland store. Built in the 80's (1982 to be exact, as you can see it in the sign), this little shopping complex mainly serves the Puna district, and the surrounding areas. Some of the businesses I saw at the Kea'au shopping complex - 1. Foodland 2. Kea'au Natural Foods 3. Ace Hardware Store 4. Suds & Duds Laundromat 5. Lemongrass Vietnamese & Thai Food 6. Supercuts 7. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 8. La Uma Samoa 9. Sandorra Floral Designs 10. Subway Sandwiches And right across the street from the "Kea'au Shopping Center", I saw the follow businesses - 1. McDonalds (but of course.......they're everywhere!) 2. Shell Gas Station & Convenience store 3. Longs Drugs 4. HFS Credit Union As small as the Kea'au Shopping Center is, I found the shopping complex to be bustling with folks, and am very happy to see some of the locally owned businesses doing well. Got to Foodland, and got my afternoon "snack"...........you will see what I picked up in my following review! :D If you're in da boonies..........good thing that the Kea'au Shopping Center is here to serve the folks in the Puna district.
