Transforming land back to ʻāina
Native Hawaiian and canoe plants, grown in Kāneʻohe since 1999.
When we started, you could buy maybe five native Hawaiian plants in the islands. Today there are nearly 200.
We helped grow that. Our plants live in restoration sites, school campuses, resort gardens, and backyards statewide

ko mākou moʻolelo
Rick Barboza came to native plants through Hawaiʻi’s birds. Matt Schirman came through Hawaiian culture. Both arrived at the same place: neither can thrive without healthy native ecosystems. In 1999 they founded Hui Kū Maoli Ola to grow them back.
