Remember, dig your holes first! That is my motto!

Add: Justin, this was posted on the Hawaiiplants.org site ion July 19th of this year. The sale are usually one in the spring & one in the fall. This year the fall sale is a wee bit later than normal & is in the Afook Chnen Civic Center. The venue had to be changed due to re-doing the tennis stadium floor (this has affected many of the things that happen in the Ho`lulu park complex)

How far in advance do they plan these? I can't get to this one, but would like to attend the next one.

Went there just before 5, sure was crowded! I had a good strategy, I bought a huge gnarly bromeliad and people pretty much stayed away from me!

Yes, it was very crowded and they didn't plan their cashing out strategy very well. The line was from one end of the building to the other and was still growing but barely moving at all. I got disgusted and left without the beautiful white torch ginger or black ilima. I hadn't planned on spending the entire evening standing on line...

They do this twice a year, so hopefully next time it will be back in the Tennis Stadium where there will be room for more everything, including cashiers.

agree rêne, they also had the orchid show there this year, very small, crowded. the ONLY good thing was lots of restrooms! but i skipped the BIAN sale when i heard where it was after the orchid show. hope next year they are back to their old haunts...
