The John Fairey Garden, formerly known as Peckerwood Garden, was founded by John Fairey in 1971 and is located near Hempstead, Texas. Spanning 39 acres, this garden stands out for its distinctive design, conservation efforts, and a diverse collection of over 3,000 plants, including rare and endangered species from Mexico, North America, and Asia.
Open for self-guided tours on Saturdays, the garden also offers docent-led group tours on designated Open Days and private tours for groups by appointment. Visitors can witness the beauty of unique palms like Sabal uresana and Brahea moorei, known for their silvery blue-green hues that create a serene ambiance as they sway in the wind.
Noteworthy woody lilies, yuccas, agaves, and more populate the garden, carefully selected by John Fairey himself. Among the highlights are the Asian mahonias, adding texture and color with their spiny leaves, yellow winter blooms, and dark berries, attracting birds and pollinators. The John Fairey Garden promises a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts and conservation advocates alike.
