Peckerwood Garden Open Days

This place is north of Houston. The name of it cracks me up. I'm sure it's not meant to be funny. It's probably a gorgeous place. In fact, I would really like to go there. I must go there now, if only to take my husband's picture by the Peckerwood sign! He's not a peckerwood though. What does Peckerwood mean exactly?
