Laukahi Commonsa Hoʻōla ʻĀina FY27 proposal

Who grows it, who needs it?

Built by this proposal

Hawaiʻi's native plant capacity is a network of nurseries, growers, seed banks, and restoration crews that mostly find each other by phone. This workflow is the directory and matchmaking layer — who propagates what, who has capacity, who needs material — so supply and demand for native plants meet in the open.

The network behind this directory is already on record — the shared database holds its organizations and conservation staffing history today.

The network, already on record

Working demonstrator

The directory doesn't start from zero: the shared database already holds the network's organizations and conservation staffing records. This panel reads aggregate counts only — never names or contact details. The funded work turns this record into a living directory the members maintain themselves.

The material directory

Design preview

Who propagates what, who has capacity, who needs material. The cards below are illustrative of the design — the funded work builds the directory with the network's members and keeps it theirs to maintain.

Nursery · Windward Oʻahu

Propagates mesic and lowland forest species

Capacity, availability, and contact — listed by the member

Seed bank · Hawaiʻi Island

Accessions with storage behavior and viability records

Linked to the How-long workflow for re-collection scheduling

Restoration crew · Maui

Requesting material — dryland outplanting, spring window

Requests match against grower availability, in the open
