Nurseries & Gardening in Waimanalo, HI

“Thank you to Shirly who was generous with her time while helping my Mom figure out the best plants for her lanai. She was incredibly informative and full of patience as my mom asked so many questions. Shirly kept saying , 'Go with your heart' when choosing between plants. My mom chose 2 dwarf plumerias and several wild orchids. I highly recommend this plant nursery. I will add photos soon!”

“Brandon was awesome. I told him what I wanted to do with my pond and he was able to help me pick out plants that would work in my vision. Definitely will come back.

Also if you’re looking for any other plants for your yard, this is the spot”

“Warren is the best. He is a very genuine, honest and kind person. I bought a lipstick palm tree. He really took his time and helped me pick a beauty. It was such a positive experience. They wrapped it up real nice so the dirt wouldn't spill in my SUV.Don't waste your time going anywhere else, Warren is a one of a kind and the real deal.Im a customer for life. Love that Plant place !”

“I got my Plumeria delivered today wow was I impressed with the size and the condition it was in And well packed I can’t wait for it to bloom I’m on the waiting list for a few hibiscus plants can’t wait for them to be stocked up again. It was so easy and fast delivery. Im so happy I found this nursery ?

I’m adding to my review I ordered some more plants 10/11/24 and I live in Florida -well the hurricane was heading my way David called me and said it would be best to delay my order he was concerned my plants would not do well bc the fed -ex trucks would be delayed. He advised me to wait. Which I’m impressed he took the time out to call me. I also asked him several questions about plant care he did not hesitate to answer them and send product photos . He’s very helpful and extremely plant knowledgeable . He’s an asset to this company .”

“I was told that the honey pineapple I was looking for is no longer sold, but there are other delicious fruits, so it's better to check the season before going.”

“Lyn was extremely helpful and kind. The nursery has a great variety of succulents and cacti, including unique cacti that have been on my wishlist for a while. I’ll definitely be going back.”

“I hired Glad's Landscaping & Tree Trimming Inc to cut several very large branches of a banyan tree hanging 15ft over our property. Their price was very competitive. I hired them because they were licensed and fully insured which is important for a job requiring ropes and climbing. I checked that their employees actually had workers comp in addition to other insurance. Many companies told me they were licensed and insured but this is not always the case. A lot of times the owner of the company will have worker's comp, but not the employees. There are a lot of dangers in cutting such an overwhelmingly big tree and accidents do happen. There was a minor accident with my fence which got slightly chipped, but this didn't surprise me entirely considering this was a huge job - a tree of almost 40ft tall. They immediately fixed within a couple of days better than it was before. It was amazing to see their teamwork using ropes, pushing, pullng, and gently lowering each cut limb from 30 ft in the air. They had great customer service, were very professional, and did a great job.”

“The Valley of the Temples Memorial Park is a serene and culturally rich park on Oahu's North Shore. It features the stunning Byodo-In Temple, a replica of a 900-year-old Japanese temple, surrounded by beautiful gardens with lush greenery and tranquil surroundings. The park serves as a memorial site, offering a peaceful atmosphere for reflection and honoring loved ones, while showcasing Buddhist architecture and philosophy.”

“Great selection. Wonderful customer service. Affordable pricing. The pricing wasn't marked so I didn't know how much it was until I was paying. i would have bought more had I know it was so affordable.”

“Lovely place! Tons of flowers to pick from, fruit trees, etc. Kids had an awesome time picking fruit (thank you Lena!!) and looking at the tortoises and goats ? highly recommend!!!”

“The hubby had a vision for the garden, and for some reason crotons figured prominently in that vision. After reading reviews of nearby nurseries in Hawaii Kai and Waimanalo, I decided Yamashita was the most promising. (PS One of these days I'm going to do a nursery crawl in Waimanalo, there are apparently quite a few!)If you're coming from Hawaii Kai, it's the last left turn off Kalanianaole before you enter Kailua territory. You'll see a huge sign for another nursery - which is another good one. Take the left turn and about a quarter mile in, you'll see the sign for Yamashita's. Park outside - no parking inside the gate!Once you enter through the gate, stroll through the rows and rows of flora - not sure how big their property is, but it looks pretty extensive. We picked our plants and brought them to the office/shed to pay. The gentleman there was quiet but friendly and helpful - he'll help you load your bigger plants into your car.Don't forget to bring and wear a mask - it is outdoors and not many people there when we went but it's necessary when interacting with the owner and/or workers. Show aloha, not germs - wear a mask!”

“We have a large cement planter that has been neglected and wanted to make it into a beautiful pond. We visited Mulkern Nursery to pick up a water lily to fill the space and transform the ugly planter pond. Kevin was very helpful and showed us the different types of water lily varieties, and explained there are some day and night blooming types. He also had a special on the beautiful red Kalo and showed us how to integrate it into the pond to give vertical height and add more color. We decided on the smaller purple day-blooming lily. He also explained how to care for it with fertilizer tablets. I now want more ponds to have more lily varieties! We don't notice how ugly the planter is anymore since we have a magical and colorful little fish pond. The plants really transformed our space.

Mahalo Kevin, Alan and Mulkern Nursery staff!”

“TOP on my Favorites List for Nurseries! After visiting here you will never want to buy at retail price again. You can find there plants selling at Home Depot! Located in WAIMANALO you could use GOOGLE MAPS to help you find this place. Need to call for a reservation time and when you do the Aunty who answers will give you times there available! We visit 2x year for plants and get sometimes a 2 for 1 price in comparison to retail. Worth the drive! ?”
