Peckerwood Garden Field Trip, More Than a Garden to Enjoy

March 1, 2010 - Posted by Jen

This past Saturday Jeff  Law and myself  went to  Peckerwood Garden which is a Garden Conservancy garden located in Hempstead, Texas. Peckerwood garden is the setting for an expanding collection of rare plants native to many regions of United States, Mexico and Asian counterparts.first of twelve open garden days of the year.   Peckerwood Garden was founded in the early 1970′s by John G. Fairey, which we met and enjoyed visiting  along with his right hand Connie.   We also met Will Fleming ,one of the most knowledgeable people in the native plant community and the ‘Ilex vomitoria’ common name was named after him. This garden is on my top ten list of of most outstanding garden I have ever visited.  Thank you Chris for answering ALL of River’s questions.  I will call you soon to make sure we have the correct spellings. :) The next open garden day is March 27th and 28th, 2010.
