Turtle Bay opens community garden on Oahu's North Shore

Hotel investment usually means more rooms, better pools, greater restaurant and retail choices.

More of that is eventually coming to Turtle Bay Resort, the largest hospitality development on Oahu’s North Shore. But on Friday the resort’s opening of Laulima Gardens proved that sometimes investing in the smallest of seeds brings the greatest community impact.

The resort and Pono Pacific welcomed the first 32 plot caretakers to its new community garden, a roughly 50-acre parcel along the makai side of the resort’s 540 acres of agricultural lands, which are in various stages of stewardship.
