Kalo (Taro) Collection

A vital part of Hawaiian culture and community for generations, kalo's ability to be grown in the loʻi (irrigated lands) and māla (dryland) environments allowed early Polynesian settlers to thrive and survive in the isolated Hawaiian Islands after voyaging there by canoe. Honoring Hawaiʻi's official state plant, the Kalo Collection's distinguished veining symbolizes how we are all interconnected, and its lovely heart-shaped leaves serve as a reminder to always care for one another and for the land that sustains us all.
