Recommendations for Oahu+Maui, Hawaii?

[theloyalplum]

I'm heading over to the islands for a short vacation to relax and visit family and shop.. for things. You know...

Anyways, if any one has any recommendations for Maui and Oahu for things like grocery markets for fresh fruit and seafood, dining about and of course NURSERIES. Much would be appreciated!

A bit more detail: I'm looking for things outside of Waikiki on Oahu, I've been here a few times, so it's all the same! Aiea, Waimanalo, Haleiwa areas! I already plan on seeing Kawamoto and H&R since they're in the same area!

Thanks in advance! Hope to take some cool shots from Haleakala and Koko Head!

Kawamoto's nursery is nice, but it seems cheaper to buy from them on eBay.

Back from my trip. Only got to visit H&R nurseries. But at least one order got put in and my entire vacation budget with it (semi-exaggeration). I contacted most, if not all of the well known nurseries in Maui, but they all said they were closed to the public. Much sadness was had but quickly vanished after a visit to Haleakala for sunset! All in all good trip! Thanks guys for the suggestions. If anyone needs any recs for places to go and/or eat, feel free to message me! I made a grand poke and garlic chicken tour of Maui and Oahu and other local goodies. MALASADAS AND PASTELE STEW (AND FRIES) NEED TO BE EVERYWHERE.

Seriously?! That's unfortunate! I used to go to TOF and EOoM when I would visit Maui from Honolulu. Both of those nurseries are absolutely amazing to see in person.
