Koʻolau Farmers — Local services in Honolulu

No matter if you are a green thumb or a brown thumb, Koolau Farmers is the place to go. Despite being in the middle of town, they got something from everything to a small garden, home and/or apartment. Small to large, flowering to ornamental, fruiting to producing, potted to seed and all the supplies you need to get your oxygen producing environmental friendly growing on.

One thing that I really like about Koolau Farmers is the staff. They are always busy doing something, but if you have a question, they stop and give you their full attention. Very knowledgeable and helpful. You can't say that about the large warehouse store that has a small garden shop.

The quality of their plants are hardy and ready to go. They take great care of them while waiting to be purchased, so you don't take home anything that is half dead. Can't guarantee you won't kill it if you have a brown thumb, but it will have a fighting chance. They also have a nice assortment of flowering plants that would make the prefect gift if you need...

Koolau Farmers is a gardeners heaven, with everything that a green thumb needs - and wants - for their garden.

All locations have limited parking and South Beretania is no different but it’s worth going early to take your time and wander inside and out of their nursery spaces.

They have a wonderful collection of rare plants for sale, from variegated whale fin and monstera deliciosa to philodendron pink princess. Most of those are behind a roped-off area with a “kapu” sign to indicate it’s off limits to the public. If you want to see one up close before purchasing, you’ll need to request the assistance of one of the helpful staff.

They also have one of the best seed collections on island, including a large display from Fukuda Seed Store, whose seeds are adapted to Hawaii’s climate.

Such a hidden gem along this busy street, if you’re ever looking for a plant as a gift - for others or yourself haha - you should check out this...

Amazing spot in the city! I recommend going here for your plants/gardening needs versus anywhere else. Limited parking but it wasn’t as busy when I went. They had a variety of plants that would suit your needs and you definitely wouldn’t leave empty handed. All the plants were healthy, happy, and thriving! There were plants for landscaping, herbs for your kitchen, and decorative plants throughout the property. It’s also very calm and peaceful which is an awesome perk, am I right? I’d also like to point out that they had fertilizers, pots, and whatever you’d usually use in a garden and not just plants. There’s always someone in the front or in the back who would be more than happy to help you and give you prime advice! Super friendly faces. I found my new...
