My husband and I built our dream house at the Mauna Kea Beach Resort and have been full time residents in Hawaii since 1990. We were lucky to form a relationship with a new company, Raise Plants. After meeting with Ray we gave him the responsibility of providing and caring for all of our orchids and household plants. Over the years Ray and his employees have become part of our family. He has always provided great service in a truly professional manner mixed with a lot of aloha.

Raise Plants has been providing exotic interior landscaping to my restaurants, Café Pesto Hilo Bay and Café Pesto, Kawaihae Harbor and for my private home on the Kohala coast for about 16 years. Without exception, the commercial service has been entirely seamless, invisible and professional at every level; the residential service, discreet, unobtrusive and totally trustworthy. The plants are healthy and tropical, free of pests and dead leaves and are regularly serviced by friendly and capable care takers. Should your needs or expectations change (as have mine), Ray has always been accommodating, flexible and fairly priced. I can't give a stronger or more confident recommendation. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me.

Since taking over as General Manager for both the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince Beach Hotel, I employed Ray Antignane of "Raise Plants" as the resort's plant rental and maintenance service provider. Mr. Antignane and Raise Plants have done an outstanding job servicing both hotels and have been extremely helpful in beautifying our resort.

In the five years I have used Raise Plants, they have always provided the best in customer service. Always on time and reasonably priced, they have consistently been responsive to any request. The numerous orchids and tropical plants they have placed in my three homes are always fresh, in bloom and enhance the living experience for my family and my guests. It is wonderful to have a vendor who always does what they say they will do. They truly meet the highest standards of quality service, and every one of Ray's employees has always been delightful, helpful and responsible.

We have known Ray Antignane of Raise Plants since March, 2003, when he started providing and taking care of plants in one of our condos. Since that time, he has expanded his business with us to an additional condo and our home at the Mauna Kea Resort. Ray has always provided really fresh plants and has been quick to replace any plant before its time has come to be changed. He has been very easy to work with and anytime we have questions or special requests, he was always quick to address them.

I would like to offer a strong recommendation for Ray Antignane of "Raise Plants". He has supplied live plant service to our homes since 2001.We are currently residents at Wai'ula'ula at Mauna Kea and he continues to provide excellent service to us in this home.

Ray always provides fresh and attractive plants which complement the floor plan of the home and the interior decorating. He cares for them on a weekly basis and replaces them as needed due to age or environmental changes. He is extremely reliable and a great communicator. He never fails to keep in touch with us on the changes to either his schedule or the plant composition.

Anyone having the opportunity to use his live plant program would be extremely well served. We give him the highest recommendation as to his professionalism and his personal integrity.
