Get More from Life in a Community Garden Community

Community garden communities are perfect destinations for retirees and people of any age who enjoy the fruits of gardening. Healthy outdoor exercise and working with neighbors in productive social activities are just two of the reasons to live in a premier community garden community.

Why choose a community garden community?

Do you enjoy getting outside in the spring months to plant your favorite flowers? Do you get a special satisfaction from seeing your summer vegetable plants thrive and grow? Is the fall harvest your favorite time of year? Community gardens are the newest amenity in active-lifestyle communities around the country and your best choice if you love growing, eating and sharing the bounty of nature.

The benefits of living in a community garden community:

  • Community Garden Areas. Most new developments these days include prime locations for community gardens in their master plans, complete with water lines or entire irrigation systems. More established communities are adding new common gardening areas every year. You can stake out a plot or two of your own and share the costs of soil, seeds and fertilizers with your neighbors. The local climate is the only limit on the types of flowers and vegetables you can grow in your private area, while planting and caring for young fruit trees to create an orchard is a great way for residents to work together.
  • Community Garden Experts. Many places that have community gardens employ professionals to help get them started and offer their expertise to residents. And even if you've not been a gardener before, you'll find more than a few new friends at the community garden who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you.
  • Community Garden Clubs. Traditional garden clubs may have just grown flowers for show, but today's garden clubs do much more. They assign plots, develop local planting schedules, share tools, monitor for pests and organize trips to other gardens in the area. Garden clubs encourage neighbors to become friends with new activities and interests that add to the overall quality of community life.
  • Community Garden Produce. Enjoying fresh-cut flowers and organic vegetables that you've grown from scratch can be a deeply satisfying experience. But community garden communities often take that to a higher level, working with area food banks to supply extra fruits and vegetables to local families in need. For many garden community residents, its the most fulfilling contribution to others that they can make.

A town in nature  

How do you describe a community that has so much to do, it’s become a destination in its own right? Wildlight calls it “a town in nature.” Where walkability and wellness make everyday life feel healthier, easier and more connected — whether you’re strolling to the supermarket or salon, taking a class at the Wildlight YMCA or scheduling appointments at UF Health, all right in the community. As for the nature part? You’ll find it in the 12+ miles of trailways weaving through the neighborhoods. The acres of preserved wetlands. And soon, access to the bluffs along the St. Marys River.

A place to call home 

Wildlight offers multiple neighborhoods, each with a variety of single-family homes and townhomes. Of these, one is exclusive to 55+ active adults. Del Webb Wildlight is a gated 55+ enclave of thoughtfully designed single-story homes — all featuring luxurious details like chef-inspired kitchens, upgraded finishes and covered lanais. It’s the perfect spot for those who want to live close to Wildlight’s Village Center (or near family in the community’s other neighborhoods), while enjoying exclusive resident-only amenities. The hub of it all is the Horizon Club, where every day feels like a staycation, thanks to a resort-style pool (including lap lanes), pickleball courts, craft room, fitness and movement studio, dog park and more — there’s even an onsite restaurant. (“This is the life” might be a phrase you find yourself using frequently.)

An ideal location

Located in northeast Florida, Wildlight sits halfway between Amelia Island and Jacksonville — both under 30 minutes in either direction. Which means a day at the beach, a sporting event or the golf course is an easy drive. Making your schedule a question of “where to go” instead of “how to get there.”

A “try it first” opportunity

Relocating — or just moving in general — is a big decision. That’s why the Experience Del Webb program lets you try life in the neighborhood before making the leap. Spend three days and two nights in a beautifully furnished Del Webb Wildlight home. Get a guided tour of the homes and community. Then spend the rest of your time at Horizon Club, in the parks, on the trailways and pickleball courts, or at the Village Center.

Del Webb Wildlight features 16 floorplans priced from the $350s, with many homes available for move-in now.
