Episode 5: Earthworks By Mila
Earthworks by Mila
Mila got me rethinking just about ALL of my plant pots.
The first weekend we moved into our Hawaii house I dropped triple digits on plants. I don’t know what it moved me to do it … maybe its Hawaii? Maybe just the idea of being in a HOUSE after hotel living for 6 weeks, #whoknows.
Six months later most of those plants are DEAD. And Mila nailed it – and without seeing any of my plants! They were all in pots that killed them! Oh and the wind… I the wind killed the plants on the lanai.
Earthworks by Mila was created out of the soul of passions, people said it was going to be hard to start a business from plants and/or pottery so I did it anyway, while getting married, pursuing self-growth, and now working a full-time job.
Earthworks By Mila is Aina Based, 95% of everything is sourced locally. As a new business, she was already turning a profit within three months, having completely paid back her initial investment!
You can find Mila at the Lokahi Market in Kailua on Sunday mornings!
