Ok as I understand it and others when they weigh in will have a better explanation I do, I am sure.
Courtyard Villa CYV- They come in stick built (keys) and Block (Savanna). The main difference is that they have walled yards. Most of the homes in the villages do not allow fences or walls (search kissing lanais for more details) They (as I understand it) come with low maintenence yards but many have taken out the stone and whatever and put in grass in the back. They are very popular with people who have dogs. If you search the villages preowned site and under type select villas. Page through untill you find one that says courtyard in the description. This will allow you to look at 360 degree tour of this style home that has been landscaped by a person. You can then check the new homes to see how they look done by the developer. I think the range is from around 1200 sq feet 2 bedroom 2 bath 1-1/2car garage to the Broadmoor that is 3 bed 2 bath 2 car 1395 sq ft living -1893 with garage. A good example of the small unit were they have put in grass is VLS# 206784
Hope this helps.

I was recently in Sam's Club (VA) and they have raised growing bed resin kits. Looks to be about 6' x 4' ? I should think you could have such a thing?

It is my understanding that there is a large vegetable garden located south of 466 ......... Its called VILLAGE OF HADLEY ....

I recently saw raised vegetable kits made from resin, for sale in Sams Club. Should think they would be OK?

Yes, that would be fine. It all depends on what is allowed. Does anybody know how to figure out what "they" allow?

You may want to investigate getting involved with the Shared Harvest. Last Summer our realtor pointed it out near the Woodshop on the East side of Rolling Hills Road. It is a community plot with land donated by TV. I understand the harvest is shared with those in need, so if the planting and harvesting are the most important considerations (along with doing a good deed) it might be something worth investigating. Here is a link to a short thread on the subject:

Shared Harvest Community Garden

There was also and article in the Daily Sun about it dated March 29, 2010.

Allen, after reading your post about the Shared Harvest community garden in TV, (your link didn't work for me BTW), I tried to find out more information about it. Most of the info I found was about one year old. I am astonished at the entire project. Especially the North Lake Presbryterian Church in TV who operates the Operation Homebound program where the year-round garden food is donated.

The Operation Homebound, according to the church website, prepares, packages and delivers food to homebound low income people. I assume it is like the Meals on Wheels program where I'm from. The church also operates a soup kitchen in Wildwood where the volunteer garden food goes as well!

I'm sure these aren't the only great groups in the area. But certainly was nice to hear about this one. Thank you Allen. B.K.

B.K.,

You're welcome... I just tried the link and it worked for me, but was a bit slow to show up.

I wish I could provide more info about this, but I live in PA and that's all I was able to find at a distance. As I said earlier, there was an article in the Daily Sun about it dated March 29, 2010. I found it online. If someone in TV has an interest, perhaps they can follow up on this.
