Care For Native Plants At Kaha Garden


Hui o Ko’olaupoko

This project is a living example of how individual homeowners can help improve the local environment through the use of native vegetation and xeriscape gardens. The project replaced grass and invasive species along 150 yards of stream bank with native Hawaiian plants which can be used for soil stabilization, biofiltration and water conservation. Volunteers will be involved in clearing invasive plant species from the gardens using small hand tools and hand pulling weeds as we work to open areas for reintroduction of native plants.

  • Please sign the digital waiver prior to the event date.  https://forms.gle/muQDNb8n3BRSeEhQ8

  • Participants under age 16 must have adult supervision.

  • Tools and gloves will be provided

  • Please wear closed-toe shoes and work clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty

  • Located within Kawainui Neighborhood Park at 750 Kaha St. (the intersection of Kaha and Kihapai Street, off of Oneawa Street in Kailua)

Our community workdays and volunteer events happen rain or shine!  In the rare event that we would need to cancel a workday due to unsafe weather conditions, we will update our Facebook Page with the event status no later than one hour prior the scheduled start time.
