Friends, colleagues, homeowners and cultural practioners gathered in December at a newly planted garden at the corner of Wailea Alanui Drive and Okolani. Part of the Laʻi Loa project, this garden was planted using native and canoe plants that traditionally existed in this area. 

The blessing was lead by Kumu Kamaka Kūkona, a well known kumu hula on Maui as well as an educator, musician, vocalist and song writer.
