About the Peirce's Woods
Peirce's Woods is a stunning tourist attraction located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, United States. Designed by W. Gary Smith, this award-winning garden showcases over 200 species and cultivars of native plants, offering seasonal interest from spring through fall. The central design theme features large horizontal sweeps of groundcovers that balance the towering mature trees. Visitors can enjoy the magical display of woodland flowers in early spring, including white foam-flowers, creeping phlox, and dwarf-crested iris. The garden is also known for its fragrant blooms, such as Carolina allspice and various azaleas.
As the seasons change, Peirce's Woods transforms, with goldenrods and asters blooming in the fall. The landscape continues to evolve under the care of horticulturists, ensuring meticulous maintenance and clever design shifts to accommodate the growing canopy of trees. Visitors can explore the seven-acre woodland landscape exclusively featuring native plants, shrubs, and trees, experiencing the evolution of the seasons in this beautifully designed space.
From the spectacular spring ephemerals to the vibrant fall colors, Peirce's Woods offers a sensory experience like no other. The history of the woods dates back to the late 1700s when the Peirce brothers began planting and managing their arboretum. Today, the woods have been reimagined and restored, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature. With its rich history and diverse plant collections, Peirce's Woods is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts.

Reviews of Peirce's Woods
"The woods have a lot of ferns, which is why I was interested in walking through here. Otherwise, it is mostly just trees and great for tree lovers to see a variety. They do have some species here that are going extinct."
