Garden of Christopher Knapp
Houston, TX
About
This garden surrounds a 1929 Southampton cottage. The garden has evolved over the years, but each iteration has been informed by three magnificent live oaks. The front is a shade garden with traditional southern plants arranged under the canopy of the large live oaks. Many of the larger shrubs are original to the site, transplanted after renovation of the house in 1992. The rear (south) garden is in full sun most of the year and surrounds a small pool/fountain, potted citrus, and tropical and subtropical plants. This garden shows the potential of living in houses built to the proportions of pre-air conditioned Houston.
