Johnson draws inspiration from his personal life experience, his passion for the amazing splendor of the Charleston, South Carolina Lowcountry landscape, and the wonder of childhood curiosity. Owen grew up mowing lawns on weekends as his fathr's helper for extra money for the family. After college and a few unfulfilling corporate jobs, he returned to his roots, and founded a landscape maintenance company.
