Every journey begins with a single dream.
From humble beginnings to where we stand today, every flower we’ve grown, every partnership we’ve built, and every person who has been part of Green Point Nurseries has helped shape our story.
In 1976, our founder, Mr. Harold T. Tanouye Jr., envisioned sharing the beauty of Hawaiʻi’s tropical flowers and foliage with the world. Through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, that vision blossomed into a company built on quality, integrity, and family values.
These photos feature the man who made it all possible—our founder, Mr. Harold Tanouye, Jr. To us, he was so much more than the founder of Green Point Nurseries. He was our father, our grandfather, our mentor, our friend, and an extraordinary man whose wisdom, generosity, and passion left a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Although he is no longer with us, his spirit continues to guide us every day. His legacy is reflected not only in the flowers we grow, but in the people we serve, the relationships we’ve built, and the generations that proudly carry his vision forward.
To our employees, customers, partners, and friends—thank you for being part of this incredible journey. The story of Green Point Nurseries is one of resilience, family, and aloha.
Fifty years is more than a milestone; it’s the foundation for everything still to come.
Here’s to the next chapter.
