“Aloha” from Maui. The people, places and plants were gorgeous…but I also have some “dirt” on this island paradise!
I’m BACK and still adjusting from the jet lag I experienced returning to Los Angeles from Maui last week. My internal clock is about 3 hours behind but considering the incredible family memories that were made, I can live with this minor inconvenience. I have so much to share with you that I have to break up the posts of my great Maui Garden Adventure into installments during the next couple of weeks.
I will be posting video as well as tons of photographs. If you are not signed up to receive updates for my blog on your favorite blog reader like FeedBlitz , this is a great time to do it! Once you sign up, you will receive notification via email of my new posts. I’ll be covering the trip from a first time visitors perspective, though you can expect my garden designer and everyday consumer opinion to pop up here and there.
Hawaii truly is a garden paradise….but, as I found out, “all is not well in Eden!”

Hi garden friends,
Thanks for your patience in waiting for my followup posts. I’ve had major computer problems but an forging ahead! Hope you enjoy my installations.
Shirley
I am looking forward to reading your posts.
Best,

Indeed Hawaii has Amazing gardens and it would be wonderful to be able to have some of those plants in my garden!
Hawaii sure does have some beautiful gardens! I’m currently planting some liriope in my own. It’s supposed to be pretty easy to plant in any conditions. I wonder how it would hold up in that tropical climate!
Your-Next Up Post title is a hoot. That is such a great looking pic of you and Mr. Pepper Tree. You all look fresh and sunkist. Do you need a vacation from your vacation? I’m looking forward to the dirt on Maui. Thats a great pic of the native dancers. See you at the next Maui Adventure Post. You didn’t give us enough dirt in this one.
Hi Cinj, thanks for visiting! Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Steve- Welcome to Eden Makers! I know what you mean about the “bizarre” feeling you felt seeing what we are used to as “house plants” growing in the wild! That is exactly what I thought. We have “child like awe,” I see. Stay in touch. Followup posts are coming. I’m editing some video of the luah as we speak.
Shirley
Welcome home! We can’t wait to hear about your adventures.
Shirley, I was in Hawaii – Oahu and Maui – a long time ago it seems now, but I loved every second of it. How bizarre to see “house plants” growing out there! Arturiums, bromeliads, orchids, etc, just blew me away. And the Silverswords, sweet. I can’t wait to see your pics and to hear about some of the realities there a well, if necessary.
