The John Fairey Garden
The John Fairey Garden in Hempstead, Texas, 1971
Formerly Peckerwood Garden, the 39 acres was rechristened to honor its founder, the late John Fairey, regents professor of architecture at Texas A&M University. The rolling terrain showcases 3,000 plant species, many rare and endangered, including dazzling camellias, palms, agaves, yuccas, and cacti alongside towering pines, hickories, and oaks.
