Spring is just around the corner, so it’s a great time to start thinking about what flowers to plant now, to enjoy through the summer! Depending on the specifics of your community, your Lennar home came with extensive landscaping, minimal landscaping, or something in between. But no matter what you were provided, it’s nice to add your own special touch. So here are a few suggestions for flowers to plant that will look beautiful, and are easy to care for.
Daylilies– Add these easy sun-loving perennials to bloom in almost any kind of soil, as long as it drains easily. They’ve been known to thrive up in Minnesota, all the way down to Florida. Best of all, you can divide them after a time and expand your garden.
Morning Glories– These little beauties are strong climbers and spread easily, so be careful where you plant them or you can end up with more morning glories than you bargained for! To help control unwanted seedlings, mow, rake or heavily mulch the ground underneath the plants.

Cosmos– They look like colorful daisies and are sure to boost your mood. These annuals are so easy going, they’ll bloom even in poor soils. They like full sun (but appreciate afternoon shade in hot climates) and can tolerate drought once they’re up and growing.
Sunflowers– Sunflower seeds are large and easy to handle, so they’re great for teaching children how to garden or beginner gardeners. You can find sunflowers in many different sizes and colors; they grow happily in sunny gardens.
Roses– When I think of roses, I think of romance, which is why it’s perfect for gardens that need some love. There are so many varieties out there, but shrub roses are where you should start. Plant your roses in a sunny location with good drainage.
If you’re still looking for a new home to start your low maintenance garden in, check out our many communities in the Nashville area. Or, you can reach out to one of our Internet Sales Consultants for more information and schedule your tour today!

Buddy and Bella, Fifi and Fido, Whiskers and Winston—yes, from Ace to Zippy, our pets have as many names as we have ways to love them, pamper them, give them homes. They give back, too: turns out, owning a dog lessens the risk of death by heart disease by 36%.
That’s according to info from National Pet Day. Every April 11, we celebrate our furry—and sometimes not so furry–friends. (Who knew tarantulas ranked No. 10 in pet ownership, winning the hearts of 1%? Spot takes the top spot at 45%. Sorry, KeeKee, you’re at 30%.)
Anyway, springtime, which also happens to be the best time to purchase a new home in Dallas-Fort Worth, is also an ideal time to adopt a puppy or kitten—or snake (ranked seventh, with 2% of pet owners).
Oh, the website also points out that “residential restrictions” force 30% of people who have pets to part with them—think rental properties. All the more reason to purchase a new Lennar home in the Metroplex, where more than 70 communities are all just minutes away from pet adoption centers, veterinarians, pet stores, dog parks and every other pet need.
For instance, Lennar’s Bradford Park community, with new homes for sale in Flower Mound, TX, is minutes from Operation Kindness for adoptions, pet-food pantry and more.
Bradford Park’s eight floorplans offer something for every human, too, including Lennar’s signature open-concept designs for running around (no “playing catch” in the living room!). The island kitchen, with GE® stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchen and owner’s bath, might not be the place for Spritzie’s spritz, but you get the idea.
In other words, Everything’s Included®. That’s Lennar’s signature suite of high-end standards other homebuilders consider add-ons and then pass those costs on to you.
Speaking of included features, Aspen Meadows, Lennar’s community of new homes for sale in Aubrey, TX, also offers The Connected Home by Lennar™. (The robust smart-home package is also standard in Bradford Park’s new homes.) Likewise, Aspen Meadows’ five designs include granite and quartz kitchen countertops and GE® stainless steel appliances.
Plus, the two Lennar communities lie virtually around the corner from recreation meccas that even offer horseback riding. (Trigger rides at No. 6 on National Pet Day’s favorites list.)
Dogs and horses (especially) love wide-open spaces, and that’s what you get with Trinity Crossing’s new homes for sale in Forney, TX. The Lennar community offers seven value-rich designs in a small town with the old-fashioned feel of rural Texas. Trinity Crossing lies just 19 miles from East Lake Pet Orphanage, to adopt your new pet for your new home.
For a dose of a serious cute, check out this National Pet Day video and for the best and simplest way to find the perfect home for the kids ‘n’ kibbles, contact Lennar’s Dallas-Fort Worth Internet New Home Sales Coordinators at (866) 314-4477.
The largest single contribution to City of Hope Orange County will establish Lennar Foundation Cancer Center to accelerate the vision of eradicating cancer and creating healthier communities.
World-renowned cancer research and treatment center City of Hope has received a $50 million gift from Lennar Foundation, the charitable arm of homebuilder Lennar Corporation. This transformational gift of hope is the largest single philanthropic contribution to City of Hope Orange County. It will expedite the health care organization’s bold plans to invest $1 billion to develop and operate a comprehensive cancer campus in Irvine, California, and establish an Orange County network of advanced cancer care and research that will speed groundbreaking treatments directly to a community with growing needs.
The future 190,000-square-foot Lennar Foundation Cancer Center at City of Hope Orange County will be located on 11 acres at Five Point’s Great Park in the heart of Irvine. It will bring best-in-class cancer care, pioneering research and lifesaving treatments to the county’s 3.2 million residents. Construction is already underway on the comprehensive cancer center, which will open in 2022. In addition, Orange County’s only hospital dedicated exclusively to treating and curing cancer will open at City of Hope Irvine in 2025.
City of Hope’s presence in Orange County offers local access to City of Hope’s National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center with world-renowned cancer physicians and researchers who are singularly focused on finding better treatments and cures. Lennar Foundation Cancer Center at City of Hope Orange County will bring to the region a host of distinguishing services, including:
As the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, Lennar Foundation’s extraordinary contribution underscores the importance of investing in local health care resources and increasing access to leading-edge care. For Orange County, it is a reminder that cancer does not stop, and that City of Hope’s mission is more important than ever.

Lennar has a long history in Orange County of developing thriving communities, including helping form the vision for a world-class recreation and lifestyle destination. This gift is an extension of this longstanding commitment to improving lives in the regions Lennar helps shape. A portion of the gift to City of Hope is designated to support clinical translational research between City of Hope and the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center of the University of Miami, thus uniting two organizations supported by Lennar’s generosity who share similar goals in developing new treatments and cures for patients with cancer.
City of Hope and Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center serve two of the most diverse areas in the United States. Both organizations are committed to conducting high-impact research that addresses the cancer burden in their communities. This gift will enable collaborative, translational science that will drive innovation and catalyze timely and necessary progress towards health equity.
Lennar Foundation’s gift to City of Hope is a generous continuation of Lennar’s longstanding support of the comprehensive cancer center. Jon Jaffe, co-chief executive officer and co-president of Lennar Corporation, is a member of City of Hope’s Construction Industries Alliance Leadership Advisory Council, which raises funds for cancer treatment and research. In recognition of his contributions, Jaffe was awarded City of Hope’s highest honor — The Spirit of Life® Award in 2004.
City of Hope Newport Beach, the first phase of City of Hope Orange County’s expansion, opened in early 2020, providing Orange County residents first-time local access to world-renowned physicians backed by the powerful City of Hope network. City of Hope plans to open other clinical network locations across the region.
