Sans Souci Neighborhood Alliance

Want to make a major impact in the lives of children and on the environment? We are raising money to revitalize and transform Verner Springs Park, a neglected park, into an engaging, ecologically diverse green space for families to explore, play, and learn. We already have funding through The Greenville Chamber of Commerce to install a new playground and now we need funds to create a border fence to keep kids safe in the park, a parking area, community murals, and a pollinator garden.

This park will protect the environment, increase well being and health of children, encourage community connection, and instill community pride, especially in a part of the community that doesn't have access to a public green space. We also intend to have educational programs such as Neighborhood Naturalists, Art in the Park and outdoor yoga.

Verner Springs Park is a rich and diverse ecosystem with a resident hawk, blue heron, groundhogs, salamanders and more. The addition of a pollinator garden and riparian buffer will prevent erosion which keeps Verner Springs Creek and the Reedy River clean. We want to transform Verner Springs Park into a thriving space for both people and animals!

Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to the Sans Souci community.

Dear Sans Souci Community members and friends,

 Planning for the 2023 Sans Souci Community Garden Summer Concert Series is well underway and we have a great lineup in the works, with our first show scheduled for April 30th. However, for that to happen, we need your help! While we had previously made use of borrowed speakers and equipment, the time has come for the garden to acquire its very own sound system for us to keep this tradition alive for many years into the future. We are asking everyone who has enjoyed our past concerts, or who is interested in coming for their first time to consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Sans Souci Neighborhood Alliance, our 501(c)3 charitable organization. Our goal is set to $1900 to cover the purchase of PA speakers, microphones, cables and accessories but any additional funds raised will be channeled back into the garden and the Sans Souci Neighborhood to help with our operating costs, such as yearly insurance premiums, seed orders and gardening supplies. 

 

From all of your Sans Souci Gardener friends, a sincere thank you for any amount you're able to contribute and we hope to see you this summer!
