Adopt a plant every month!
Free Tree Giveaway:
November 7th, 2026
Take home a piece of Hawaiʻi's native forest. This year we're giving away three cherished native trees:
ʻŌhiʻa Lehua
Metrosideros polymorpha
Found from sea level to the mountains, ʻōhiʻa lehua is Hawaiʻi's most widespread native tree. Its red lehua blossoms feed native honeycreepers like ʻapapane and ʻiʻiwi, and it is among the first plants to take root on fresh lava.
Milo
Thespesia populnea
A beloved coastal tree with heart-shaped leaves and hibiscus-like flowers that shift from yellow to deep rose. Hawaiians prized milo wood for carving bowls and planted it near homes and fishponds.

Māmaki
Pipturus albidus
A native member of the nettle family without stinging hairs. Māmaki leaves make a mild, popular herbal tea, its bark was traditionally used for kapa, and it hosts the native Kamehameha butterfly.
When we grow Hawaiian native plants and heritage crops, we grow aloha for ʻāina.
At each event one of the following cherished plants will be available for adoption.
We are proud to be partnered with the Grow Aloha to support the propagation of native plants on the island.
