Native Plants Hawaiʻi Project
The goal of Native Plants Hawaiʻi (NPH) is to create and establish a single, comprehensive and searchable online knowledgebase of endemic and indigenous plants of Hawaiʻi.
NPH seeks to connect local nurseries to landscape architects and home growers to promote the purchase, use and understanding of local native plants. Information is constantly updated by participating nurseries and plant specialists.
NPH is a joint project between Kapiʻolani Community College (KapiʻolaniCC) and Leeward Community College (LeewardCC), funded by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES) for Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Institutions, with supporting funds provided by KapiʻolaniCC and LeewardCC.
