A Park for The People
Written By: Ann Self - The Village Green | Issue: 2020/05 - May
For more than 25 years, The Village Green has enhanced lives and the lifestyle of the Cashiers area. From the beginning, The Village Green was designed for this purpose: To be a park for the people.
Today this has never been more true. The Village Green is here for you with its wide-open spaces and many therapeutic benefits. In the chaotic, upside-down world we are living in at the moment, having a place of sanctuary is more critical than ever before.
You can stroll the winding pathways of The Village Green. Springtime is always a beautiful time to be in the park. Many trees and flowers are blooming now, including 200 daffodils that were planted last fall.
Support one of our local restaurants by picking up curbside take-out food and have a picnic in one of our shelters. Bring a book to read or a sketchpad to draw and find one of the many benches tucked away in several locations throughout the park.
Or, simply sit, soak up the sun and listen to the birds. The Village Green is home to many migratory birds, including the Eastern Bluebird, a sign of happiness. Unroll your yoga mat in the grass and practice sun salutations, or take an online course.
Speaking of logging in…you are now able to access the internet using The Village Green public Wifi! This is just one more way that The Village Green is working for Cashiers, enhancing our community connection.
We have canceled or postponed our events through mid-May to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. Once we get the all clear, we will resume our programming.
In the meantime, we will be offering some virtual programs and livestream events for you to enjoy The Village Green from the safety of your home. This month’s events feature an outdoor artist demonstration, photography, cooking, folktale storytelling and a musical interlude. Visit our website or sign up for our email newsletter for more detailed information as these are subject to changes with current events.
We continue to do everything we can to keep our community park safe and accessible to everyone. We continue to do all we can to make The Village Green a clean and enjoyable place to visit to find comfort and solace. We remain strong in our commitment to serve as Cashiers park for the people.
