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.

It's in a neighborhood so please be mindful and respectful of the area and where you are parking. Paula is super helpful and extremely nice, she wanted to help me find the plants my heart desired. Talking to her was such a treat, you can tell she enjoyed her plants and nursery. Looks like she is open on weekends 10am - 4pm. I was looking for some plants to take back to California with me and since it needs to be soil-less I had to make sure I was able to take the cuttings of the plant. Paula had a bunch I wanted to take back as her prices are extremely fair. I don't know about you guys but these days it's hard to come by plants where it's not completely overpriced.

The price for small two inch pot was $3 as of this writing which is cheaper than what you can find in town as they are the growers/caretakers. Lynn (I think that is how you spell her name) is great. She is very customer service oriented and will only sell you the best that she has. You can pre-order how many succulents you want for events and she will set them aside/take care of them for you until the day of your event. She is also very knowledgeable about the plants and in general has a good energy and easy to talk to. The location is behind a gated area, so you need to call the number to get in. She takes cash, credit card (for a fee), and Venmo for payment. Overall, I love that I was able to support this small business and get quality succulents for my events. Mahalo!
