Peckerwood garden is one of America’s most unique garden environments. Peckerwood Garden 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.
The garden is located between Austin and Houston, and sits at the border of three climatic zones, supporting a wide-ranging collection of plants. The garden features over 3,000 plants including many rare plants and many threatened species. A wide variety of flora integrated with a unique collection of sculpture, makes the visit most memorable.
To ensure the preservation and continued development of the garden, in 1998, the non-profit Peckerwood Garden Conservation foundation was formed. It also undertakes educational and its conservational projects. The Foundation's goals include preserving existing collections, supporting continued plant explorations and trials, and developing, maintaining and preserving the land and facilities of Peckerwood Garden. |
