PENN'S WOODS
Part of the Richard C. von Hess Gardens, Penn’s Woods is an educational garden featuring native plants of P
ennsylvania. This section of the gardens provides the opportunity to learn more about the trees, shrubs, wildflowers, perennials and ferns that comprise Pennsylvania’s landscape. Penn’s Woods also showcases the state tree (hemlock), the state flower (mountain laurel), and many historically significant plants that provide connections between people, communities and landscapes of Pennsylvania.
During the summer and into the fall, the people of Pennsylvania can learn more about the commonwealth by taking a stroll through this idyllic section of the gardens.
