Lunalilo Home Garden

June 2012 Event

Andrea and I volunteered to help with the planting of a garden by Malama Maunalua at the Lunalilo Home for the elderly in Hawaii Kai on Saturday, June 30th.

The volunteers gather in a circle for the morning briefing with Koko Head in the background.


Kimo says a few words, thanking the volunteers.


The volunteers quickly go to work. Photo by Andrea.


After raking up leaves we discovered this hole in the concrete.

So we filled the hole with rubble preparing to finish it with concrete. Andrea made a run to City Mill to get a second bag.

Councilmember Stanley Chang came by to lend encouragement.


Kahu Kaleo Paik blessed the garden and the volunteers.


We stood around the garden to receive the blessing.


After the blessing the sweet potatoes and other plants were planted. Photo by Andrea.


The hole in the concrete was completely patched.


The finished garden! Photo by Andrea.
