Communities We Are Focusing On Now

OUR Community Garden

Growing a Gardening Community

OUR FREE Community Garden is part of our grassroots Kaleidoscope Honolulu in our urban neighborhood. We anticipate so much "harvest" from it-including more food security and relationship building with our seniors, families, and youth living in high-rise homes around us, but it's much more than that!

Kaleidoscope Honolulu is an outreach of First Christian Church of Honolulu (DOC), and the community garden is located on the campus at: 1516 Kewalo St Honolulu, HI 96822

Raised gardening beds, with trellis, are 42 X 24 and about waist high. Bed/Dirt/Water are provided. Our raised beds are the "seeds" of a Gardening Community for our neighborhood...where gardeners can:

• Grow vegetables and herbs

• Gather to talk story-meet friends old and new

• Learn about gardening as other gardeners/master gardeners share what they've learned

• Nurture food health and wellness through special events,
  trade plants and seeds, and more!

Think of it as the beginning of a big gardening family! We have special gardening speakers/events on Wednesdays from 10:30-12:30, and we will have some special gardening events/speakers on Saturdays TBA.

Our Partners Grant Support 

National Benevolent Association

Christian Church Disciples of Christ

We are thankful for our Grant Partner, National Benevolent Association of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ. whose generous grant has made it possible to begin the grass roots movement Kaleidoscope Honolulu

Wondering why it's called 153 Cafe & Marketplace? It arose in our Small Worship Community from the scripture text: John 21

Just imagine the impact if we create 153 small communities- of all different kinds- that might bring all our unique lights together, creating new patterns of light that impact our urban neighborhood, and the lives of all ages and cultures, for the better!
