Hello and Welcome to Endeavor – a monthly video update from Garden Spot Village, where you will discover the abundant opportunities you have to live with purpose in community. 

I’m Matt Sheaffer, Resident Services Team Leader. Thank you for joining us this month for Endeavor. 

Outdoor concerts are a summer tradition in Lancaster County. Garden Spot Village is honored to be a sponsor for outdoor community concerts this summer. We will sponsor the Sunday, August 17 concert by Harrisburg Jazz Collective at Longs Park in Lancaster. Through the summer we’ve been honored to sponsor the Entertainment in the Park at New Holland Memorial Park.  

We are now taking reservations for the Autumn Soiree, set for Saturday, September 13 at 5pm. This annual event, which benefits the Garden Spot Village Benevolent Fund, features an evening of music, story and imagination. The Gretna Theater will provide music and a vocal cabaret. Choose to join us for dinner or just dessert. Reserve your ticket online at GSC.GL/GS25

Garden Spot Communities recently announced The Exchange. This active 55-plus lifestyle community on the Riverfront in Harrisburg is set to open in 2026.
