Nakamura K Nursery

I never would’ve suspected a nursery off of eight street, but I’m glad I found it the woman who owns the place is so lovely and sweet. Very knowledgeable and help me pick out the perfect plan that I needed. You can tell she puts in the time and care for her plants and trees.

I’ve visited Nakumura’s Nursery twice, when I was on the hunt for some indoor plants that help clean the air in my office & as gifts for co-​workers. Usually, no one is outside when I arrive, so I call the number listed on Unilocal & it rings up the Nakamura residence, which is on the same property as the nursery, and Mrs. Nakamura usually answers & will come out to help you. They have all types of plants & small trees and Mrs. Nakamura is very helpful with making my selection of plants. The Nakamuras take great care with raising their plants and give helpful tips to care for these plants (I chose super low maintenance plants for my co workers).
Prices are very reasonable for the high quality plants. My 6″ potted plants (peace lily, snake plant, Philodendron) were about $ 7.50 each.
Parking is limited. Mrs. Nakamura told me to park in the driveway at the entrance gate.
Cash or check only.

Jewel in the city. Helen is very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. It is a pleasure to shop at this local family business.

The Nakamura nursery is mom and pop business located near kapahulu on date st. We came to purchase two outdoor trees. They also have many varieties of local plants and a few fruit trees mountain Apple, sour sap, papaya, Myers lemon, pomegranate, tamarind. Great friendly service!

This is not your typical nursery where you can run in and run out. Nakamura’s is a mom and pop operation. Take advantage of their knowledge and love for native plants!

What a great experience! Drove pass this Nursery for years, stopped by for the very first time this past Saturday. Drove in, we walked around soon Mrs. Nakamura came out to help us. She was wonderful and insightful! Prices are GREAT, she gave us lemons and 3 extra plants.

I don’t recommend. I stood around for 10 mins until I asked the gentleman for some help. He said yes, walked away and no one ever came back to help. Was trying to avoid going to big corporations but ended up at Home Depot anyways. Was expecting good thing from the reviews but was highly disappointed

It was everything we hoped and more. Such a wonderful experience, the owner is so knowledgable.

I went here to buy aloe plants, and the owner was the sweetest person ever! She helped me pick out some huge aloe plants, and gave me a great price. She asked me what I was using if for, and I told her it was for my rash. She then cut me some huge pieces off her own aloe plant so I could start using it right away without cutting my new plants. It’s so rare to find this kind of customer service!!! All the plants there are so healthy and beautiful too.

Sweetest lady to sell me plants. She definitely knows get stuff. Hilarious laugh. The plants here are really well taken care of. She always is so helpful and she knows her stuff

Lots of different kinds of plants, many of which other places don’t carry. Friendly too, and the prices are reasonable.

So much aloha and love for what they doing. This place is very nostalgic. Also knows a lot about her plants and gives great advice. I will come back here to support mom n pop. Mahalo nui loa for keeping Hawai’i, Hawai’i.

I had such great experience here. All the plants were so happy and bright. You can tell they are so healthy and well taken care of. The Mrs. who was there was a beautiful women and suggested some beautiful house plants for my business. I told her I needed something easy to care for and for indoors, she guided me very well… I know nothing about plants and have a history of murder :(. But she told me how to water them and what fertilizer to use. So I have a schedule of watering and spritzing and sending them good energy. I feel very confident they can grow well under my care. Thank you so much for all your hard work throughout the years.

Rare plants, great customer service, I was given two free plants and lime. She was so friendly and informative.
A Gem of a place

How can I help but give this place five stars? Mrs. Nakamura is so nice and she reminds me of my own late grandma. It even reminds me of my grandma’s house in Waipahu with the homemade greenhouse. Their plants are also so reasonable. I paid $ 10 for a bougainvillea that would be $ 20 at home depot. Like a fellow Unilocaler said; she gave us two free small plants. We got 3 bougainvillea = $ 30, four ti plants=$ 20, a willow tree =$ 15, and a lucky tree =$ 20; total $ 85! And the two free plants she gave us! We’ll be back to get more plants! When we left she said «Don’t’ kill them!». I’ll really try my best!

You would never expect to find this oasis in the middle of Honolulu. There is a wonderful selection of plants, and Mrs. Nakamura is a gem. I will be back.

Great plants, great variety and selection, and most importantly, great people! Mr and Mrs Nakamura are super friendly and helpful, don’t be shy to ask questions because they know their stuff. Will definitely come back.

this is the place everyone has been hoping for. small business, family owned and operated — i think it is only mamma and pappa — he waters, she assists the clients. total down to earth Japanese style nursery. mamma-​san will give you recommendations of «good» or «no good» with your choices if you give her the details of your plan. eclectic selection and awesome variety. if you accept her suggestions, she always throws in a few potted plants for free. honestly, this type of mom and pop store won’t be around for much longer (she hinted) so go and support her in the last few moments something SO special will be around. you will not be disappointed.
