At Atkinson Plumeria, 5239 Alzeda Dr., La Mesa, CA 91941

NOTE: Depending on the weather, this may be the last plumeria lei-making class of 2023 on the Farm.

Learn how to make an authentic Hawaiian plumeria neck lei (lei ʻāʻī) with the kui method! The amazing Stacy Atkinson will guide you through the entire process. As a bonus, you’ll also learn how to make a plumeria hairpiece.

All materials and supplies are included in your registration. You’ll get to take home what you make. No experience is necessary and all ages are welcome. This class is held in an in-person, intimate setting on Atkinson Plumeria Farm in our open, shaded classroom. This is a rain-or-shine event.

Have more fun! Bring…

  • Grandma, mom, daughter, granddaughter
  • Spouse/partner
  • BFF, neighbors, coworkers, fellow plumeria growers

If you want to preserve your lei, bring an ice chest with an ice pack covered by at least 3-4 layers of newspaper/paper towel or a cloth towel.

After the class, you can walk around the farm among the 100s of plumerias and 1000s of blooms.

What to bring:

  • Water bottle (refills provided)
  • Hat
  • Close-toed shoes
  • Wear sunscreen
