What are the restrictions? Is it possible anywhere to view what those restrictions are? Last question, if you cannot plant a garden is there a community garden anywhere in The Villages? I would hate to have a lack of a garden be a "deal breaker" for my wife. Thanks to all who reply.

It is my understanding you are not allowed to have a vegetable "garden'. You can grow a few tomatoes in pots on your lanai, but I think that is the extent of it. There is a community garden, but to my knoweldge, it is a community harvest type of thing where the produce is given to local food pantries. We are residents who would have liked gardening, and this has been a disappointment to us. You may want to check on the community garden - maybe things are different now. I would have liked getting a small plot where we could plant what we want, and bring home the harvest. Of course the option exists to rent a small plot from a nearby local farmer/landowner and do your gardening thing. We have been contemplating it. Still have a small rototiller.
