CANCELLED: MEMBERS ONLY – Field Trip to Peckerwood Garden in Hempstead
March 31, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
10:00 – 11:30
Join your fellow Master Gardeners for this field trip to Peckerwood Garden, a unique landscape in Hempstead, Texas!
Just 40 miles from the edge of Houston, the garden is an oasis and retreat, a conserved green space protecting a valuable collection of plants, a visual delight for gardeners and those who love art and beauty.
Peckerwood Garden is a 39-acre property where gardeners can learn about new plants and cultivation methods. The trial garden shows the needs and habits of a wide range of Mexican and Asian plants that are little known to Texas and U.S. gardeners. The gardens demonstrate landscape design features that are consistent with Texas plants and climate. There are many examples of threatened species no longer found in the wild. Visitors can learn about the characteristics, requirements and hardness of rare and unusual plants and learn to expand their definition of what constitutes a beautiful landscape.

Registration instructions and carpooling details have been published in an APBee on February 27th.
