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.

Homes: $165K - $1.5M Lots: $10K - $300K

Callawassie Island, located in the heart of the Lowcountry, is a private, gated island community offering world-class Tom Fazio golf and a full complement of amenities including a tennis center, clubhouse, pools, fitness center, and River Club. Secluded from the noise and congestion of the highway, Callawassie lies miles from Hilton Head and is also convenient to Beaufort and Bluffton (15 minutes away); historic Savannah, GA (a 30-minute drive); and the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (40 minutes away). A half-mile causeway provides a relaxing, slow-paced approach to the island, where peace and quiet are as plentiful as vibrant activity.

The community hosts numerous social events, activities and clubs connecting members by their passions for nature, art and giving back locally. Members take full advantage of the island parks, historical sites and recreation areas for enjoying remarkable views of undisturbed nature. Island dwellers have access to four community docks providing leased slips, kayak launches and excellent opportunities for fishing, crabbing and shrimping. The River Club, overlooking the Colleton River, is a warm gathering center with a library and fireplace, family swimming pool, and offers seasonal dining.

For those seeking a golfing experience like no other, the 27-hole, Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course is truly spectacular. Voted one of South Carolina’s top 50 courses, Callawassie recently enhanced the design with a four-million-dollar renovation in 2014. This renovation resulted in a brand-new pro shop with three Class A PGA Golf Professionals. The courses meander intimately along the waterways and salt marshes in a way that environmental regulations have made difficult for newer courses; visual interest is natural not manmade.

Callawassie Island is the first South Carolina gated community to have been designated a “Community Wildlife Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation. This coexistence brings a true community balance with nature. The island is covered with live oaks and palmettos, egrets and herons, and encompasses a thriving salt marsh ecosystem.

Today, Callawassie is one of only four South Carolina communities holding this distinguished designation. The homes and homesites, including waterfront property, are among the best values in the area.
