Learn how to grow iconic favorites like naupaka kahakai (beach naupaka), and explore treasures like the fragrant na‘u (native gardenia)– rare, yet surprisingly easy to grow. Heidi will also reveal her tried- and-true secrets for cultivating the legendary ‘ōhi‘a lehua, a plant rich in cultural and ecological significance. From lei-making to traditional medicine to sustainable landscaping, you’ll discover native plants that thrive in our climate and bring beauty, meaning, and biodiversity to your garden. Heidi will also take you on a special “plant tour” of the Outrigger Canoe Club grounds, highlighting the beloved breadnut tree at our entrance and other cherished specimens.
