Celebrating Spring + Lucky Penny Day

Join us for a bright, joyful welcome to spring as Iola Gardens opens its gates for a community day filled with garden tours, live music, seasonal tastings, and creative partners from across the island.

This year’s event carries a little magic… it falls on Lucky Penny Day! The first one since the penny was retired in 2025. We’re embracing the theme with subtle nods to good fortune, small treasures, and the beauty of noticing what we once overlooked.

What to Expect

• Guided garden walks through our seasonal blooms

• Local wine tastings and light bites

• Live music on the lawn

• Island artisans + community partners

• “A Penny for Your Thoughts” wishing wall

• Tiny treasure hunt for kids and the young-at-heart
