One great thing that Jim Chapman Communities offers their residents is maintenance free living. This means the homeowners do not have the responsibilities of landscaping: no pulling weeds, no mowing the lawn, no raking leaves! Without these burdens, the homeowners have more free time to enjoy life after retirement. However, gardening tends to be a favorite past time for many people, and Jim Chapman Communities does not want to deprive anyone from doing a hobby that they enjoy. So, they have found a few ways for them to keep their green thumbs while enjoying all the perks of an active adult new home in Atlanta.

The most obvious solution is creating a container garden on your patio or screened porch. Everything from veggies to tress to ponds is a possibility. Just be sure to do your research to find the best materials for your container garden. Not all flowers, veggies, plants or trees require the same amount of sunlight, water, food, etc. So you’ll want to make sure that whatever you choose to make up your container all has similar requirements.

The second option is only available at Brookhaven at Johns Creek, where Jim Chapman Communities offers residents access to planting in raised beds located in the “Community Garden Center.” This is a great way for residents who love gardening to put their individual stamp on the community.
