KALIHI — Princess Victoria Kaiulani Elementary School will be getting a landscaping makeover on Saturday, with the help of community partnerships and the hard work of faculty and staff. The school is in need of a sustainable landscape facelift that can be maintained by the school staff. The volunteers will be landscaping different areas of the campus and planting native Hawaiian plants donated by Hui Ku Maoli Ola. Most of the other work will also include removing invasive plants and trash, and installing irrigation lines.

As part of Weston Solutions’ “Making A Difference” event, Representative Karl Rhoads, school faculty, Weston Solutions, Hui Ku Maoli Ola, and M Nakai Repair Service are sponsoring sustainable improvements and beautification of the school’s campus. This is the first of many projects with Kaiulani School.
