Garden Design

John G. Fairey, a flora collector with a rare eye for design, transformed a Texas landscape into the famed garden Peckerwood.

This is the story of a plant man and his garden.

Show it off! We want to see your garden—and share it with the rest of the world. Is your garden passionate, personal, proud? Full of beauty, memories, and love? For a chance to have your well-tended—or well-intended—small or large plot featured in an upcoming issue of Garden Design, send photos (cell phone shots are okay), along with brief descriptions, to alex@gardendesign.com.
