On Monday, we brought you the story of how state lawmakers visited several Hawaii Island agricultural businesses and innovative institutions, like here at Green Point Nurseries in Panaewa, as a part of an attempt to inspire out-of-the-box thinking at the legislature.

We sat down with president Harold Tanouye, who recalled the early days of his business that is now a major ornamental flower exporter in Hawaii.

It was innovation – like the hermetically sealed, gusseted polyethylene bag inside the carton, which changed how flowers are shipped, or trailblazing use of large shade houses and cinder as a growing material – that helped Tanouye grow the family business.

Today, Green Point ships its 40 plus varieties of anthirium grown from its 30 acres all over the world, a local success story that is a model ag business on Hawaii Island.
