HUALĀLAI CLUB GARDEN GROUP:
PLEASE ALLOW US TIME TO EXPERIMENT
|
We love your interest in our watermelon patch however we ask that you refrain from picking to allow us some time to experiment with our varietals, as well as testing for the perfect harvesting timetable.
Right now we have zero’d in on a yellow varietal that is showing some real promise for our members to harvest in the future. We also just got our hands on some Florida Giant Watermelon seeds that will be going onto the propagation bench this week. These big beauties will grow to 30-40 pounds in size!

Working alongside the developers and ownership Chai helped designed a concept for a Department to ensure that this place and its resources were taken care of.
Please join Nicole “Nicky” Tachibana, the Natural Resources Supervisor, as she takes a journey into why the Department was created, how the Department has evolved and future projects. Stop by the Kumu Kai Center at Kings Pond to learn more about the history of A Department Like No Other.
