Gardening Opportunities

With our indoor outdoor living environment, there are so many opportunities for residents to participate in gardening activities. Many of the neighborhoods at Hale Makua Kahului have fruit and vegetable gardens that are cared for by residents and sometimes even their family members. Residents select what type of plants they would like to grow in their gardens and often take are of the watering, fertilizing and pruning.

There are also dozens of planter boxes that local Rotary Club members helped residents install around the courtyards complete with a drip irrigation system. If independent gardening isn't their thing, our Activities team organizes afternoons of re-potting plants that have outgrown their current pots. No matter if a resident is a full fledged gardener or just occasionally likes to get their hands dirty, we have gardening that can suit any desire!
