A Tapestry of Green and Sun
Written By: Ann Self - The Village Green | Issue: 2016/04 - April
The Village Green is a 12.5 acre park in the heart of Cashiers, attracting thousands of visitors each year.
The park is designed to be a free, public space to enhance the community’s mountain lifestyle. People come to enjoy the large lawns, gardens, amazing public art, woodland and wetland trails and the large children’s playground. Dogs and their owners especially love walking the meandering paths.
The Village Green provides three rustic venues for a beautiful mountain event. Whether the occasion is a gathering of friends, a children’s birthday party, a rehearsal dinner or wedding, a corporate picnic or family reunion, The Village Green offers a peaceful natural setting, versatile to accommodate both large and small groups. Community events in The Village Green provide a window into the pleasurable pursuits and traditions that make Cashiers unique.
Despite the park’s tremendous popularity, few people realize that The Village Green is not a government funded park. The Village Green is conserved and managed by a private nonprofit organization. Day-to-day operations are funded by individual contributions and special events like the upcoming Cashiers Plein Air Festival in July.
