Arrived Saturday morning to this very special place and met the owner, Lena. She was so kind, informative, and patient. We spent 3 hours there checking out her pets and the selection of plants , and we felt so welcomed. I came for hibiscus, but they were not available last weekend. Instead I checked out fruit trees and took home an ulu tree! I can't wait to be back for more. she offered reasonable and generous prices. It was slouch a fun memorable afternoon! Can't wait to be back when her hibiscus are ready! :) read more

Wonderful hibiscus and other plants to choose from. Friendly farmer, dog and cat. Great prices, and lots of info on how to care for your plants. I bought a hibiscus that turns from yellow to vermillion and is gigantic. For $15. It's easy to find and had a steady stream of visitors but we were masks even if we were outdoors. There's a book with.pictures of the flowers in bloom to help you choose. I bought one to see if it would survive me, and after the first flower bloomed I had a few leaves yellow and drop but now it has a half dozen buds so waiting eagerly to see them bloom. I kept it in the pot till I decide where it will do best. I would recommend here for buying plants for your own garden. read more

Lina was the nicest person and so informative. Thank you so much for all your help and now we have lemon trees

The wonderful lady who works there is just fantastic. She showed us around was telling us all about the native plants. Cats chickens and other animals roam the place as well. I saw one plant (which as a rarer plant collector I've seen some pretty ones online only) that I know I couldn't take home, but it had lots of babies that I asked if I could buy one off. She was a little hesitant but with reason. I have to fly it back to my home and she was worried it wouldn't survive. After talking some more she surprised me with a little baby to take back. I will now care for this like my own child. She gave me some nodes of another native plant and chatted us up some more and told us of some other nurseries. You were wonderful and Cooper was just so cute! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back! read more

Was looking for something small to give out to a group of nurses as a thank you gift. Leena had lots of lovely ideas and was so kind, generous, and patient with me. I was so happy to find this tranquil oasis! She even let me pet her adorable and sweet pet goats. What a great place... not a large, commercial operation but a place to buy some "Happy Plants" while leaving a lot happier than you arrived. read more

Visited this little nursery a while back plant-shopping in Waimanalo. If you are a plant lover, you need to make a stop here! I actually drove right by this nursery but the sign beckoned me to turn around as I was in need of a passion fruit plant. I recently learned some species of passion fruit need two plants to make any kind of fruit. I was wondering why my large passion fruit vine loaded with flowers had no fruit! Well if I had known that, I would have purchased two plants a year ago! The drive on the rocky dirt road felt like an adventure! I was hoping no other cars were coming my way because I'd probably have to reverse to a clearing if that was the case, but there were no other people. I was the only one there that day and it was like driving onto a little magical oasis of plants and pets. I was greeted by a really cute rooster that looked like it was wearing a vest. Too bad I didn't get a picture of him. He was cute. I loved watching him walk up and down the driveway. He didn't strut like a regular rooster, he kind of teetered on either leg, like a penguin. The owner of the nursery, Lena, came out to greet me with her pretty smile and hospitality. There were all kinds of citrus trees, plain and fancy. She had gorgeous hibiscus for sale too! As for the passion fruit, she only had one plant that was pretty small, but she just gave it to me after she told me it was a bit too small to sell. That was super nice of her! I purchased a red habanero pepper from Lena as I'm a lover of hot stuff. Aside from lovingly tending to her many fruit trees, plants, flowers and shrubs, she also tends to one of her many rescue pets, from dogs to cats to roosters, so drive super slowly if you come to visit. I believe her days of operation were Thurs - Sun, but I am not sure if I remembered correctly as it's been a while since I visited. Call ahead. Bring cash. Close your doors, trunks and roll up your windows so the cat doesn't hitch a ride with you (he jumped into my trunk). Don't forget the bug spray for the mosquitos....and drive slowly! read more

The service is excellent. They have all kinds of cute arrangements with selections of succulents and air plants to choose from. Prices will range from all sorts depending on the arrangements. read more

Lena (owner) is the best! Happy Plants was our last stop and we literally made it there at 3:48 pm with the wife and kid saying, "it's too late they're going to be closed." Glad I didn't listen to them! Lena is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and the epitome of 'down to earth'. She walked us through her separate nursery areas. She specializes in hibiscus but I was able to find a real fig tree for my MIL (not FLF, although I did end up buying one too!), alocasias, and a nice monstera. She's got some amazing unique plants that were unfortunately not for sale, but still very cool to see. Not to mention the most friendliest cat Cooper, a huge but fast tortoise, and a dancing parrot. People like Lena are why I'm becoming more and more obsessed with plants. She truly shares the aloha and is not about the "commercial" make every penny off of the customer type of nursery. She shared a special inset eating plant (serasenia?) with my son and she even let him feed her tortoise some hibiscus flowers/leaves. Can't recommend a visit to Happy Plants any more. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. read more

Tucked away in Waimanalo this wonderful plant nursery is the perfect place to spend the afternoon. Auntie Lena is the most gracious host and it is very obvious that she truly LOVES what she does. Before my visit I could not have imagined spending more than a few minutes at a plant nursery. Auntie Lena is such a wealth of warm aloha and knowledge. I dare not say how long we spent talking story and discussing the many varieties of beautiful hibiscus. You can feel all of Hawaii as it once was and truly is on this property with all its greenery and loving little kittens that patrol their lovely garden. There are chairs, hammocks and a picnic table. Pack a snack or a picnic lunch and a definitely a cool drink while you browse the plants at your leisure. Best afternoon I've had in a long while. *Be careful up the driveway it's a bit narrow and long but it opens up to the nursery with more than enough parking for several vehicles. You may drive past the sign so go easy and enjoy the fresh country air. Hope you all enjoy Auntie Lena as much as we did. read more

The lady that owns this place is rude. She won't sell anything that's desirable. This is the same people as Koba Nursery. They are snotty. Don't shop there. Sell your plants or close your doors. read more

Very nice service. The owner Lean is cheerful and helpful. She brought in a Pulasan fruit tree from the Big Island for me.

Owner is suuuuuuper sweet, helpful, and friendly. She was super knowledgeable about all her plants and had pictures of the plants that didn't have flowers. Her hibiscus hybrids are beautiful colors and her prices are so cheap compared to other place. Definitely a great place to go if you are looking for plants. read more

I had a hard time finding this place but was glad when I finally did. The owner was super sweet. I guess they are known for having fruit trees and lilikoi which not all the nurseries in waimanalo do. Can't wait to go back once I'm ready to do my planting! read more

Lena was very nice and answered all our questions! I was looking for some very specific plants and fruit trees. She showed me what she had, and when she didn't have what I wanted she directed me where I might find it. My wife wanted a few more pikake, croton, and small plants and was happy with our purchase. Lena put our names down on her calling list for some plants that are still being grown. She was very patient with me and my wife, and she openly shared her knowledge with us. Come visit her before any store! We will buy from her again very soon! read more

Wonderful experience! We were warmly greeted by Lena who helped us find a lemon tree for our home. While there, we also enjoyed looking at the hibiscus plants for sale and Lena's animals. Credit cards accepted. Please support this amazingly sweet woman and her lovely nursery. read more
