Just a little ʻohana nursery · Wai'anae 💚
We're a small, family-run nursery on O'ahu's West Side — planting, potting, and learning as we go. After years of growing for ourselves, we're finally opening up our little jungle to share the abundance.

Our Story
We're not master gardeners. We don't know every fancy Latin name or all the rare varieties. What we do know is how much we love plants — and how much joy they've brought into our lives over the years. What started as a hobby (and maybe a little plant obsession 😅) has grown into something we're really excited to share.
After years of growing and collecting for ourselves, we finally decided it was time to open up our little jungle and start sharing the abundance with all of you. We're a small, family-run nursery here in Wai'anae — planting, potting, and learning as we go. Everything is grown with aloha, patience, and plenty of dirt under our nails.
So mahalo for being here. Whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting your plant journey, we're stoked to grow together. 🌱
What's Growing
Everything here is grown and potted by hand, with aloha and a whole lot of patience. What's ready changes with the seasons, so come say hi and see what's looking good.
Grown in our backyard
One of our favorites — big, green, and happy. They love a shady lanai or porch and that island humidity, and they fill out a hanging basket beautifully. An easygoing plant we love sharing.

Blooming right now
That sweet smell of home. Our cuttings and starts grow into the sun-loving trees behind so many lei. Hardy, forgiving, and worth the wait when they finally bloom.

Learn With Us
Everything we've learned growing these plants in Wai'anae — watering, light, propagation, and the problems we've fixed the hard way. Written from our backyard, for yours.
A children's book from our ʻohana
Under the Hawaiian moon, a litter of Rottweiler puppies is born. One by one they find their forever homes — until only the gentlest is left, waiting by the gate. A kind Hawaiian tutu sees what the others missed, and gives the quiet puppy a home, a family, and a name: Huna, after the moon on the night she was born. A tender story about the strength of a quiet heart.
