Come On In

Under the natural canopy of Moanalua Gardens.

“Who’s Keeping Hawaii Green” was a blast! This very special event was held Aug. 30 at Moanalua Gardens. Hawaii Home + Remodeling magazine honored 17 individuals, organizations and companies who are making a significant effort to protect our environment. Our event partner was the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawaii. Kokua, the brainchild of musician Jack Johnson, also helped Green the entire event, from root to leaf. Mahalo to everyone who made the evening a success!
