Aunty Nani’s Healing Kōnea o Kukui Hawaiian Garden
Enjoy Hawaiian/Okinawan Hospitality on this healing garden tour, weaved with lei making, meditation, and local cuisine.
Nani Svendsen’s grandmother came to Hawai’i as a picture bride promised to a Okinawan man who journeyed to Hawai’i as a sugar plantation laborer, both in hopes of a better life. Their daughter Harumi married into a Hawaiian family whose roots are deep in Kohala, tracing lineage back to King Kamehameha.
She says that we all can get overwhelmed by daily challenges and she believes that coming to the garden can help people reconnect with themselves and the spirit of the land to heal their hearts and souls. In Nani’s own search for healing she received the calling to restore this ancestral garden which had been dormant for more than 50 years. She spent years clearing brush and planting the beautiful tropical landscaping present today. This project is 23 years in the making and today the landscape that once was full of invasive plants is now home to native plants as well as staple crops that have fed Polynesians for hundreds of years. This land has fed and taken care of her Hawaiian lineage for nine generations now and she hopes to share this special garden with you.
