TREE AND SHRUBSLeaf it to me

where are the best places to live in Florida and Georgia?

I’m planning to move down south and don’t know much about either of these states except for Orlando and some parts of Ga. I want to live somewhere that has recreational activities like swimming and softball and also where I would be able to have a garden and grow fruit trees and all kinds of flowering plants. I’m also an orchid lover and I know there are places where these grow naturally. I’m hoping to find a home that’s not too expensive- maybe a foreclosure home that someone needs to leave for whatever reason. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thats good to hear you want to move to the south I live in The Metro Atlanta Area (near Lawrenceville) there has actually been alot of really nice $200,000 homes getting foreclosed on lately and there usually being sold from the 170,000′s. As far as fruit trees go the Atlanta Area is good for planting Apple trees
