About Start in Your Backyard:
Visionary placemaker Steve Nygren chronicles the rise of Serenbe, a pioneering model of biophilic living outside Atlanta, and charts a path for others wishing to challenge the status quo, embrace optimism, and reinvent their communities…and themselves.
For many Americans, life is no longer working. We are increasingly sick, stressed, anxious, and unhappy. Many feel left behind by the economy, disillusioned by once-respected institutions, and helpless in the face of environmental decline. Steve Nygren argues that much of this can be traced to where—and how—we live. By rethinking and reinvesting in our own communities, we can rediscover the joy of connected, meaningful lives for ourselves and future generations.
Start in Your Own Backyard provides a blueprint for developing sustainable communities where citizens of all generations can thrive.
About the Showhouse:
Serenbe and Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine proudly present the 12th Annual Serenbe Designer Showhouse, benefitting the Decorative Arts Fellowship in partnership with the Art Farm’s Special Projects Council.
Located in the scenic Spela hamlet of Serenbe, the 2025 Showhouse is a striking multi-story Modern Craftsman home designed by Serenbe Planning & Design and built by South Haven Builders. With interiors led by design duo Mister + Mrs Sharp, each room reflects intentionality, creativity, and timeless elegance.
