Native Plants Hawaiʻi is a searchable online knowledge base focused on understanding, preserving, and using native Hawaiian plants. The site lets users explore plant profiles by scientific, Hawaiian, and common names, and it includes growing requirements, natural ranges, and cultural information. It serves as both an educational resource and a practical plant-selection tool for restoration, landscaping, and place-based learning.
Native Plant Research and Selection Investigation
Learners use the database to search and compare native Hawaiian plants by island, distribution, water needs, light conditions, plant form, landscape use, conservation status, and mature height. The site can support plant identification, habitat comparison, restoration planning, school garden design, or lessons connecting native plants to culture and place.
