In the uplands of Maui, nestled along the skirt of Haleakala (House of the Sun) lay the beautiful gardens of Ali`i Kula Lavender.

AKL resides on an elevation of roughly 4000 ft. and is home to approximately 55,000 lavender plants and 45 different varieties of lavender, olive trees, hydrangea and protea blooming on 10.5 acres, offering the first and only Lavender Lifestyle experience on Maui. Cared for and created by Agricultural Artist and Horticultural Master, Mr. Ali’i Chang.
Relaxation, Rejuvenation and Renewal are all held in this magical place that the spirit calls home!

Ali`i is more than a Grower, he is Guardian.
The beauty of his work can be seen across our 10-acre stretch. On any given day he can be found nurturing his flowerbeds and lavender fields with attention and charm.
Though his lavender beauties are not native to Maui, they have settled on our majestic mountain with style and grace. Thriving in Kula’s perfect weather, our lavender blooms year round.

Lavender was given to Ali’i in 2001 by a dear friend and being the consummate gardener that he was, he planted the herb with the best of intentions to have it breathe and blossom into what AKL is today—a true work of art!

This masterpiece in which he calls his home speaks of the life he lives and the legacy he wishes to leave behind. His art of growing plants and enriching our resources is greatly enhanced and adorned by the many artifacts and collectable's Ali’i has acquired over his many years of travel and entrepreneurship. These accented pieces give way to the incredible detail and richness that takes form in his craft.

Alii prides himself on having an impeccable and ever-changing canvas for all eyes and takes considerable pride in his work and the work of his people. And though his flowers could never look more beautiful as they do, or his plants could never grow better than he already makes him,....he will always find ways to create something incredulously impressive….he is a true perfectionist.
