at home in nature
Harmony is all about life in balance – work and play, town and country, home and nature. That’s why the community’s thoughtful master plan is a vibrant ecosystem complementing and celebrating the natural surroundings with thoughtful amenities that keep the community bursting with color, light and life.
the apiary
Harmony is pleased to be home to its own Apiary. Not only does the Apiary offer the sweet rewards of local honey, it supports important conservation efforts to increase the local honeybee population recognizing the critical role of bees in pollinating crops that provide much of the world’s food supply. Harmony’s apiary maintains two beehives managed by Beekeeper Angela Wilbanks of Hoschton, GA based Sunnie’s Bees.

bluebird trail
Harmony’s Bluebird Trail is a network of several bluebird houses built to expand and protect the native bluebird population. Traditionally known as icons of happiness and springtime, bluebirds help with pest control in the community in addition to showing off their musical melodies and beautiful bright plumage for all to admire.
seasonal plantings
Natural landscapes are the heart of Harmony. Lush, organic, and sustainable, the landscape vision for Harmony offers four seasons of joy with focus on year-round color in the tree canopy and plants, native-adapted plants, edible plantings, and wildlife habitat. Thoughtful details make the difference throughout the community where you’ll find planted hedges favored over constructed fencing, lush landscaping at the street in a network of flowering plants in bioswales help to manage stormwater runoff and a half-mile boulevard lined with more than 150 trees.
community garden
Harmony’s Community Garden is thriving and it’s the place to be when you’re ready to try your hand at cultivating your own fresh vegetables, fruits or herbs. The dedicated space offers raised garden beds for seasonal planting.
