Austin, Texas, is one of the country’s entrepreneurial hotspots, personified by homeowner, Bart Knaggs, right, and the landscape designer, Patrick Kirwin, left, who helped Bart actualize the garden he had created in his imagination. As Bart recalls it, standing on the street below waiting for his children after school, he’d look up at the tangled mass of fallen trees, rangy shrubs and a flat white block of a house and think, “That’s our next home.” What was an overgrown lot and an unimpressive 70s-built ranch house is now a low-key, eco-friendly two-story home with a comfortable and useable garden.
