Join Us for the 2025 Annual Unthirsty Plant Sale at Hālawa Xeriscape Garden

Everyone is invited to the 2025 Annual Unthirsty Plant Sale at Hālawa Xeriscape Garden at 99-1268 Iwaena Street on Saturday, August 2, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The three-acre garden, a lush oasis nestled in Hālawa Valleyʻs Central Park industrial area, is a live display of drought tolerant and native plant varieties.

Major credit card payments only. No cash or checks accepted.


This family-friendly and admission-free event is focused on xeriscaping, a creative way to reduce outdoor water use through efficient landscaping. Event-goers can expect the following:

  • A variety of xeric plants by local vendors
  • Educational booths
  • More to be announced as information becomes available

Xeriscaping is based on seven fundamental principles that serve as guidelines on how to plan, plant, and maintain a garden that takes advantage of natural climate conditions to make efficient use of irrigation. Some of the principles include growing “unthirsty” plants, using mulch, and installing proper irrigation.

Proceeds from the plant sale help support educational activities at the Halawa Xeriscape Garden. The open house is co-sponsored by the Friends of Halawa Xeriscape Garden, a non-profit community group that supports educational programs related to water conservation in the landscape. The Halawa Xeriscape Garden is located at 99-1268 Iwaena Street, in Halawa Valley’s Central Park industrial area.
