Peckerwood Garden

A living laboratory of plants in the heart of Texas

About an hour's drive from either Austin, College Station, or Houston, poised on the edge of three climatic zones is one of America's most unique garden environments. Peckerwood Garden is the setting for an expanding collection of rare plants native to a wide region of the southern United States and to Mexico mingled with their Asian counterparts.

“A garden is a journey that seems to have neither a beginning nor an ending”

— Creator of Peckerwood Garden, John Gaston Fairey
