JN Residence
Eclectic Garden, Austin
Cacti and pergolas and blue bunnies, oh my! This whimsical space is dominated by a cedar timber pergola painted in a color that evokes sunsets in the Southwest. Blue leaved cacti and agave abound throughout the space. Mass plantings of frog fruit, wooly stemodia, orange zexmenia, and gulf muhly grasses soften the heavy use of crushed granite, stepping stones, and stone retaining walls. Specimen night-blooming cereus, green sotol, and century plants are combined with upcycled natural stone pavers, moss rock boulders, river rock, and crushed granite. The blue bunnies are a crowd favorite that move quickly if you aren’t paying attention.
