Golfview Villas at Park Springs
After giving up her 2-acre yard in Perry, Nelson was delighted to find that Park Springs offers members a chance to have their own little garden patch. She and Carolyn Brooks share a flower bed where they've both installed plants from their former homes: iris, pansies, spiderwort, Queen Anne's lace and shamrocks are all in bloom right now. "We enjoy having just a little plot where we can get dirt under our fingernails," Nelson said. Christopher Oquendo / AJC Special
