Welcome to Iola Gardens, Vashon Island’s private member collective

Our historic spaces are preserved to balance creative focus with a true island escape. Whether you need an inspiring outdoor garden respite to break the isolation of working from home, a peaceful corner for conversation, or a member-sponsored Educational workshop, our gates are open to support our collective's vision. Find room to breathe, think, and restore your rhythm.

Gather with Our Community

Step into our seasonal learning calendar. Because we operate within an intentional private club framework to protect our slow pace and rural island infrastructure, we ask our community to register for a membership tier before participating in upcoming artisan workshops, Educational Sessions with food and Beverage, or Education serssions related to musical and nature. From sunlit summer evenings on the lawn to cozy winter seminars, our grounds host a beautiful, year-round rhythm of education and connection.
