Plant Sale Aids Prison Program

More than 400 plants, including many in decorative pots like these (made last year by Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle member Annetta Kinnicutt), will be available Saturday at the LKOC spring plant sale. Photo courtesy of LKOC.

Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle is selling hundreds of plants from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Kailua Elementary School to benefit its “Learning to Grow” program at Women’s Community Correctional Center.

The annual sale has herb and vegetable starters, bromeliads, hibiscus, ferns, begonias, purple flower golden dewdrop and native plants – many in decorative handmade pots – cultivated by inmates in the LTG classes, which teach them how to cultivate hydroponically (without soil).
