About your company: The Garden Collective creates individualized luxury floral experiences for your home, garden and special events. Opened in 2017, we’re a locally owned floral company based in Honolulu, Hawai’i. We’re especially known for our exclusively designed lei po’o (head leis) and the private classes that we offer in floral designing, garden care, macrame art and of course, lei po’o.
Why you started: In 2017, I was facing health issues that prevented me from working in my previous healthcare career. I found comfort in creating lei po’o for loved ones and quickly gained attention after posting about my creations on social media. My intentions were to go back to my medical job and finish nursing school but I realized how much joy creating florals gave me and knew that this was my passion.

When I created The Garden Collective, I knew that my ultimate goal was to be more than a flower shop. I knew that I wanted my business to be a go to spot for individualized home, garden and special event products and services.
