Volcano Garden Arts is situated on a World Heritage site a mile from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Once a part of the 1908 Hopper Estate, its lovely grounds include enchanting cultivated gardens, art studios, greenhouses for both plant cultivation and art-making, and access to nature trails into surrounding, upland rain forest. The farmhouse-turned-gallery is California redwood originally brought to Volcano by ship, rail and horse-drawn wagon.
