The exhibit will be open at the Honolulu Museum of Art from June 23–25.

Co-chair Janice Lau Fergus is excited to kick off the club's first show in five years.

Some members have owned and cultivated plants for fifteen years in preparation for one show.

“Even if you're not a gardener or a grower, it's a beautiful show,” Fergus said.

The exhibit will emphasize endemic and Indigenous plants, as well as ocean health. Floral arrangements, photography, jewelry and more will be on display.
