TESTIMONIALS
“Nothing is more important to a Resort experience than the first impression. Bernice has assisted our Mauna Kea team in bringing the front drive, lobby and promenade atrium landscaping back to its former glory to match the surrounding beauty of Kauna’oa Bay and the hotel’s award-winning architecture. From the design process to installation to on-going maintenance, she has been an impeccable partner to the Resort in ensuring an elevated experience for our guests to enjoy for years to come. She has met and exceeded our expectations with her vision and execution.”

“Working with Bernice was a great experience, she took our requirements and vague ideas about what we wanted in the design and formed them into a unified, well thought out vision. The best part is that the vision was implemented with very little churn or changes and looks better than we ever imagined.”

I've worked with Bernice on several landscape enhancement projects. You tell her what you're looking to accomplish, point to some existing plants you like (but don't know the name of), and she creates magic. The "luau tunnel" we did in 2023 and the atrium garden in 2024 have grown in so nicely - walking through these spaces feels like walking through a little jungle. Bernice will handle everything - drawing up your design for approval, procuring the plants, coordinating with the install team - she makes it super easy. Her knowledge of the local flora is exceptional and much needed on the island to maintain the natural beauty.”
