HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – There’s a family-owned farm in Central Oahu where you can find local produce, native plants and workshops to find your green thumb.
Mari’s Garden is tucked away in the middle of Mililani neighborhood on Makapipipi Street.
Owner Fred Lau was already running a landscaping business and purchased 18 acres in 2008.

“My eldest son graduated from college in 2010, and he wanted to raise food, so we ended up starting to grow lettuce,” Fred added.

The garden is named after Fred’s daughter, Mariko Lau.
