Aluli Residence, Kailua
In 2013, the Aluli sisters moved their Mom to a lovely
condo where she could age in place. They hired us
to create a garden for her on the sunny, spacious,
east-facing lanai. Safety and ease of use were top
considerations for our design of the space.
It took a village!
We did maintenance on Mrs. Aluli’s garden for 6 years, every month, rain or shine. As
Mrs. Aluli gradually changed from active participant to quiet observer, her ohana
stepped up to help. Daughter Alai showed up for every maintenance with a great
attitude, ready to harvest & wash produce, prune the hedge, scrub the floor, whatever
needed doing. Grandson Kimo came up 3 times a week like clockwork to water and
check on things. Along with the garden, Mrs. Aluli got to enjoy all that visiting!
Aloha a hui hou
Geraldine Rose Aluli passed away on June 6, 2019, just shy of her 94th birthday.
What a joy and an honor to have known this great lady! We treasure our years with
the Aluli ohana, hands in the soil, growing food, 13 floors above Kailua town.
