When was the last time you got your hands dirty and actually had fun doing it? Join us for Dirt to Drinks: After Hours in the Garden tomorrow from 5:30–7:30pm. Spend the evening giving a little love to the VLP community garden. We’ll work together to help the garden thrive, meet new neighbors, catch up with friends, and enjoy some time outside. Bring your own drinks and snacks, roll up your sleeves, and come be part of something good for the neighborhood.🍹🌿

There’s always something to look forward to at the Village Learning Place! 📚✨

Dirt to Drinks: After Hours in the Garden is happening Thursday, Oct. 1 from 5:30–7:30 p.m.! 🍹🌱 Bring your favorite beverage and a snack, lend a hand in the garden, and enjoy some fresh air and good company. Why head straight home when you can hang out in the garden, connect with your community, and support a good cause? 😉

We also have Tots Tuesday for our littlest learners and Fall Yoga to help you stretch, breathe, and reset.

One of our favorite things about Tots Tuesday is getting to watch our little community grow. 💛

Over the summer, we’ve watched familiar faces come back week after week, welcomed new friends, and shared so many moments of reading, singing, dancing, creating, and just being together.

Here’s a little summer recap of the fun. And if you haven’t joined us yet, consider this your sign. 👀✨
