Peckerwood Garden is a Garden Conservation Foundation garden located in Austin and Houston , and sits at the border of three climatic zones, supporting a wide-ranging collection of plants native to the southern United States, Mexico, and Asia. The arboretum brings together examples of many different species of acer, ilex, liquidambar, magnolia, styrax, taxus, quercus, many of which are recent plant discoveries from remote mountain ranges in Mexico. It also features outdoor sculptures and a collection of folk art from Mexico and the United States.In 1998, with guidance from the Garden Conservancy, the non-profit Peckerwood Garden Conservation Foundation was formed to ensure the preservation and continued development of the garden and its educational and conservation projects. The Foundations goals include preserving existing collections, supporting continued plant explorations and trials, and developing, maintaining and preserving the land and facilities of Peckerwood Garden. The garden is also associated with YuccaDo Nursery, which sells seeds and plants propagated from plants in the garden.
