Amenities That Matter

Sure a media center with a 3D projection TV and high speed internet would be decent amenities to have at your apartment complex , and  an amenities deck with a saltwater pool and custom stone grilling area would pass muster, but what if your residential community had an organic garden? The Vyne Apartments in Charlotte does, and it’s a nice one with raised beds made of red cedar, and finished with pea gravel pathways.

The Vyne’s organic  garden is located right in the center  of the community’s amenity area -  just a back flip from the pool , and close enough to the outdoor grill to toss fresh picked eggplant right into themarinade.

 

The L shaped bed measures ten feet on the outer sides and the square bed measures  4’x4’.. A two foot wide pathway between the beds allows plenty of room for residents to tend and harvest their favorite heirloom varieties from the garden.

 

 

Best of all, property managers at the Vyne have made it easy for garden enthusiasts to meet like minded residents and share their knowledge by organizing a garden club for the Vyne on Central community.
