Native Hawaiian Plants
It all begins with an idea. Since I started teaching at Hanalei School in 2020, I took an interest in much of the content around the Native Plants that were used in daily Hawaiian life. Also of 1,400 native plants of Hawai’i, nearly 90 percent of these are found nowhere else in the world.(https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/ecosystems/rare-plants/)
Each Island has its own flower that represents it.
