🪴Spring into the new season🌿

Some may be waiting to declare spring in accordance with the astronomical season, but here at Vox, we say out with the cold and in with the new. Either way, we can all celebrate the new month at First Friday in the North Village Art District. Already looking forward to the next season? Prepare with a Summer Garden Planning session at the Columbia Public Library. If the garden that needs the most tending to is within, check out Love Columbia's Growth Mindset Training tonight.
