The Vashon Spring weave
The Vashon Spring Weave - Lucky Penny Day: A Ceremony of Found Fortunes
Saturday, May 23rd | 2:00 PM – Sunset
Luck isn't just found; it’s cultivated. We’re ditching the cheap carnival clatter for a sprawling, sun-drenched fete across the Great Lawn and the high-grass Meadows. No canopies, no walls, and absolutely no boring corners.
Come for the Sativa residency and the nomadic botanical spirits; stay for the live tattoos, grown-up lawn games, and the "heads-up" moments hidden in the spring growth. Bring a penny for the well and your wild self for the garden. It’s time to create our own luck.
Mischief & Makers Camp
Three days. Twelve workshops. Zero screens (okay, maybe your camera).
Mischief & Makers Camp lands at Iola Gardens on Vashon Island, August 7-9, and it's the kind of weekend your over-scheduled self has been quietly craving.
Think: hands-in-clay, fire-cooked meals, new skills from working artists, and enough downtime to actually hear yourself think. Camp out under the trees, grab a shared room, or go full solo retreat with a private room.
Arrive early Friday evening. Leave Sunday with new friends, new tricks, and probably a very strong opinion about your favorite workshop.
April Eve | A Spring Awakening
We are writing our own story this spring. 🕊️
Forget the traditional…April Eve is a new holiday ritual at Iola Gardens. Join us for a fireside evening of atmosphere and craft, featuring the magical Liz Ophoven and a curated menu of spring-inspired tapas.

Vashon Winter Wine and Makers Market
Vashon 2025 Winter Wine & Makers Market
Saturday, December 13 • 1–6 pm
Iola Gardens’ Barn — Maury Island
Presented with Wine Shop Vashon + Lodges on Vashon
A Little Winter Magic Is Making Its Way to Maury…
Warm lights. Seasonal sips. Makers from on and off the island. Handcrafted goods, holiday treats, and the cozy, creative chaos that only December brings. It’s part holiday tasting room, part discovery market — the kind of afternoon where you come for the wine, stay for the makers, and leave with something new to love.
Sip. Shop. Stay.
Turn the market into a full island escape. Our partners at Lodges on Vashon will be sharing a Sip & Stay weekend link for anyone who wants to make it a winter getaway. Good Wine, Good Makers, Good Cause.
