The Hawaiʻi Native Plant Growers’ Meeting is a USDA Forest Service facilitated, Hawaiʻi nursery guided, meeting for advancing the interests of Hawaiʻi growers’ involved with plant and tree production in nurseries.
The target audience and participants are nursery managers and technicians.
Meetings will rotate between the four largest Hawaiian Islands and meet on an annual basis. We will strive to visit at least one nursery per meeting and have a mixture of presentations and small hui discussions. Please join us as we gather, share knowledge, and learn from one another!
