Gather under the old oak, beside a greenhouse built from family relics.

A hand-built glasshouse, a garden full of experiments, and a 200-year-old oak with room underneath for the people you love. By appointment in Magnolia Springs, Texas.

The setting

An oak for a ceiling. A glasshouse for a backdrop.

The gathering space sits under an oak that has been here for more than two hundred years. Its branches reach out over the lawn, and from underneath you look across the whole garden.

Right beside it is the greenhouse, built by hand from windows, wood and odds and ends out of old family homes. In daylight it's full of tropical leaves. After dark it glows.

Ways to book Coming soon

Small on purpose.

PineTucky isn't a ballroom, and it isn't trying to be. It suits the occasions where everyone present matters.

Through the seasons

The same place. A different kind of magic.

Bright summer days, quiet mornings in the mist, and warm windows in the snow. Whatever month you choose, this is roughly what you'll find.

A moment at PineTucky

The garden, in motion.

Spend a few minutes at PineTucky Garden. Watch the greenhouse come to life in this glimpse of the place I love.

A greenhouse with a past

Some things are too good to leave behind.

I'm James, and PineTucky Garden is my little corner of Magnolia Springs, Texas. I built this greenhouse with relics from old family members' homes and other pieces collected around the area.

Growing things is half the joy. Sharing them is the other half. I've always given away what the garden offers, and now I'd like to share the place itself.

Come walk the garden with me and we'll talk.
