Mari's Gardens has some of the best selections of plants around. Their Kailua location is no exception - large exotic plants and many other options of foliage are available at this location. They have a beautiful space and if you have any questions the workers are always willing to help. Their plant prices for supplies/plants are pretty standard for plant shops across the island. They have some of the best and most beautiful monsteras with variegation I have seen on the market. read more

I came by to replace herbs that I keep killing. I haven't been since new ownership. To my surprise, Mari's Garden has a very different vibe than Koolau Famer's. It's more modern, DIY gifts or for yourself. Design and create by picking your pot and filling it with the wide array of plants, air plants, or succulents. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

They're usually very helpful over there. The guy Teri, who helped me was very helpful but the cashier had a little bit attitude and I don't think that works with Great Customer Service. It was the short Asian girl. read more

Shopping in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii... Thanks to Donna O.'s tip, I learned that Mari's Gardens expanded to a THIRD location on the Windward side of the island! (They took over the former Ko'olau Farmers site, next to Wendy's.) Mari's Gardens started in Mililani. It may seem far for most folks, but that property is gigantic! They're famous for the Instagram-worthy Maneki Neko (good luck cat). The second location is a cozy spot in Honolulu - the parking is challenging for me, but it probably is no problem for the people who live in condominiums nearby. This third store is wonderful! There are treasures both inside and outside! Inside, the displays of orchids and anthuriums are stunning! There are freshly cut flowers for customers to make their own floral arrangements and many pots to make creations on the spot. If you need a snack, local vendors are supported (Ubae cookies, taro chips, bags of poi, Huff 'n Puff snacks, NOMS candy, Mango granola, dressings, eggs, fresh produce, etc.). Outside, the variety of plants was amazing! Besides succulents, colorful flowering plants, herbs, etc., there were larger planters, cinders, potting soil, top soil, and fertilizer! I actually ran out of fertilizer yesterday. On the first day of each month, I feed my plants so that I can provide flowers for floral arrangements at our church. Mom does the arranging. I just clean up and prep. Haha! Staff were very friendly and helpful. As I was debating on which fertilizer to purchase, I was assisted without my asking! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I can't wait to use the fertilizer next month and see the results! I'll be back! read more

I love how Mari's Gardens expanded their horizon... Oh congratulations on how her garden has grown from Mililani to Kailua, and though it's just a fraction of the size in comparison the love of everything plant related along with its humor is all there. You know you're there with the familiar "Mari's Gardens" sign right on the building as I overheard some thinking it's a cafe with two tables positioned right outside is taken back as soon as you enter seeing the various cool plant accessories weather you're building a terrarium or your own oasis the staff here are so happy to answer any of your questions. Out back there are plants, plants and more plants and what I love about here over the other locations is they have a huge varieties of herbs. Everything from Basil to Spearmint most in mini starter pots that already are thriving in the open blazing Kailua sun you know it will thrive at home with love. Parking will be the biggest challenge so plan your visit there are only a few stalls and the dead end parking makes it impossible if it's full. I've asked if they do repotting like Mari's Urban Garden do and said in the future they're planning to do so which makes gift giving a breeze from this garden of Mari's. Thank you! read more

We found the place to buy and enjoy the beautiful plants, friendly service. They have the knowledge we all need, So Helpful read more

Garden store/nursery located where Koolau Farms (Kailua) used to be. What makes this place different are the various classes that are offered: lei making, terrariums, moss art, etc. My wife and her friends have enjoyed a few "girls night" outings at these. Apparently a good date night option too as she mentioned there were a number of couples there. Workshop offerings are on their website. Parking can be challenging. Few stalls. One way in/out. read more

Excellent service, nice items for gifts, beautiful and healthy plants, great selections of seeds for planting at very reasonable prices.

Will be back! read more

Beautiful Plants, pots, and garden needs!! Super helpful staff! I drive from the Leeward side to go there because they are the BEST!!

We came upon this store by accident. It's located in the former Koolau Farmers Kailua store. Very nice set up; so many healthy looking plants and a very attentive staff. I think they're still setting up, but it's a fabulous set up! They were having a Thanksgiving sale so we luckily got 15% off of our purchase. I love the "planting" tables set up inside the store. Made me want to bring my friends in with our cups of coffee and sit there repotting my purchases . read more

Knowledgeable staff Beautiful ambiance Gorgeous modern plants and pots and everything Dog friendly Tables are for classes they are planning on havingI I came to Mari's gardens looking for a plant that I could hang in a glass on my wall...I know sounds silly but see my photos to understand what I mean. Anyways, upon entering Mari's gardens I had no expectaions since it had recently took on new ownership after Koolau had closed. The moment I walked I felt my jaw drop to the floor and I immediately grabbed my phone to take pictures and videos to show my friends. It is beautiful in here. They completely changed the vibe of the entire space which makes it more inviting and almost more purposeful. They have tables lining the inside for future classes and different types of pots to choose from on the back wall, along with a station where you can make your own terrarium too! The entire place is completely revamped and seemed ot have everything one would need. They kept the outdoor space with the green house and other larger plants, and soil area, along with larger pots for outdoor plants/trees. They also had a cute succulent area with a large variety to choose from. The girl I spoke with was really helpful and was able to guide me to find what I was looking for to fit my space on my wall with a plant hanging from a glass. She offered opinions and plants that were within my budget and never tried to talk me out of something (which has happened before at other plant stores). I recommend going here over any other garden shop, even if it is to just check it out for the first time. read more

Super Bowl Sunday @Mari's! This nursery has a great selection of plants, and the store is beautiful to shop in. The people working here were friendly, cheerful, and so helpful. Thank you to Sarah for repotting my 2 orchid plants. For showing me how to do it, we talked about orchid potting mediums, she showed me what healthy orchid roots should look like. Now I feel reassured that I can care for my orchids, without harming them. See you soon read more

I bought my Christmas tree this year from Mari's Garden. It was early in December and while I was worried it wouldn't last till Christmas, I was assured it would. As it turned out, I filled the water reservoir, it was just as fresh on Christmas Day as it was from day one. read more

First time shopping here. Bought a puzzle from this location. Apparently listed in store is 2. I got information over the phone from another location. I only saw one, when I got here (Kailua location). The one that was displayed was dusty with dirt debris on it. I asked if they had a sealed box or one with a plastic covering on it. The customer service rep only said, there was one. I told him I was asking because the box was dirty, as mentioned. I bought it anyway because I was gifting it to someone. I told him, "if they didnt have a new one id just wipe it off myself then." I dont think it phased him to wipe it down for me being I was the customer and he was the associate. Other than that, it's a nice location, where it seems you can get a lot of selections of plants, vases, and gardening supplies. Yes, i know it can get dusty, due to the gardening products. I just feel, he could have been more aware to have wiped it down for me when I made the purchase. I did appreciate the fact that the Ka'ka'ako location was able to assist me over the phone to tell me which location had the puzzle available, so I didnt waste my time running around to different locations and they may be without what I was looking for. read more

I enjoyed THE BEST customer service experience with Josh! He chose to help me with a genuine Smile! They were out of a smaller bag of potting soil so Josh took the time to fill a clear zip lock bag with potting soil from an opened bag. So smart to keep a customer happy and not lose a sale. Good prices, too! The staff at this location could give other businesses a master class in Customer Service! Mari's Garden in Kailua is now the place for me to shop. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOSH!!! read more

Airy retail space with unusual plants and a good selection of native plant seeds. The fresh produce is seasonal and grown in their own space. Staff patiently answered questions and were happy to show you where the products are located. Check out the local paperback that breaks down growth zones to help restore native plant life. read more
