Flowers or veggies?
I use good quality bagged potting soil. Depending on the depth of the beds, you should be able to grow the same things you grew in containers. Everything from alyssum to zinnias; beets to zucchini. Have fun!
Tomatoes would be my first choice. I love sharing from my garden. You could do the same thing to meet your new neighbors. For annuals, I like petunias, snap dragons, begonias, geraniums, and marigolds. Good luck in your new home.

Working for a nursing/assisted living home. My experience was that the Activities Department helped in preparing the soil and purchased the plants for the residents to plant. You can check with the facility you are moving to if they do the same. This is considered to be part of therapeutic exercises they provide.
