Native Plants Take the Spotlight: Kākou Collective Featured in Hawai‘i Business Magazine

The movement to embrace and celebrate native Hawaiian plants is growing, and we’re honored to be part of the conversation! Hawai‘i Business Magazine recently featured our founder, Kea Peters in their article, Native Plants Rise in Popularity to Showcase the Real Hawai‘i, highlighting the increasing appreciation for indigenous flora and how local businesses, including Kākou Collective, are integrating native plants into their work.

At Kākou Collective, our passion for storytelling through art naturally extends to the land. Native Hawaiian plants carry deep cultural significance, embodying the resilience and beauty of Hawai‘i. Whether through our stationery, prints, or collaborations, we are committed to showcasing these plants in a way that fosters awareness, education, and connection.

This article shines a light on the collective effort of businesses, conservationists, and artists working to reintroduce and uplift native species. We’re proud to stand alongside others who share this mission and to contribute in our own way—through art that educates and inspires.
