Good choice. I'm in NE Georgia about 2 hours from Greenville. Nice place. I hope you love it.

I love it!!

Welcome here!!! It sounds like you are going to need a good nursery/garden center. ;o)

When will your house be started? Will you wait to move until its completed?

I bet you are so excited. :O)

Thanks for the welcome! It's sure been fun getting to "know" some folks before getting there. Makes me feel like I'm going home in a way. LOL

We close on the lot tomorrow, and the designer is working on the floor plan for us revised based on what we drew up, and will have that on Friday. So, step by step we're getting there. We will wait till it's built to move, which will probably be in January. And that's a guess (and hope).

Yes, we are getting excited. It will actually feel "real" when we own the lot and we have a final house plan in our hands.

Are you in or near Greenville? Do you know the best nursery for native plants there? It would be nice to have a name where to begin.

I've already begun thinking about what we want to put in the area around the house. They don't leave much of a "building envelope" since it's a preservation community, so that is GREAT! And they want native plants used which is wonderful. We've had a natural wildlife habitat yard for many years and really love it.

We promoted National Wildlife Federation's program and it's been a lot of fun for us and other gardening families that like birds and wildlife.
