On our way from Ontario to Texas we visited here to check out the miniature castle and collections. It was surprisingly peaceful and very beautiful. Some FANTASTIC specimens (weeping white pine, contorted European beech, white pine and stunning hollies) a nice little gift shop as well and an artisan bourbon distillery next-door :-)
If you get a chance to come visit, do so! Weddings, parties, or just go and look around, it's all worth your time. Enjoy and don't be rushed, take your time, it is well worth it!
Absolutely beautiful. What a great place to visit and see what types of plants can be grown in the Kentucky climate and soils. Laid back and relaxed environment allows you to explore the gardens at your own pace.
Immaculate grounds, breathtaking views, beautiful place. Great for photography as well. Many places to sit and relax and enjoy. Our 6 year old son even loved it! Will definitely be going back.
Yew Dell is a very nice botanical garden with numerous plants and flowers available for viewing. The plants have identification tags in front of them so they can be readily identified. Their gift shop is very cute and is located in an old tobacco barn on the site. Yew Dell has many volunteer opportunities as well as workshops for helping patrons learn to care for their plants. I live about 130 miles from it, but do not hesitate to visit the gardens at least annually.
We were in town and looking for some holiday events. The only bad thing is that it was pouring rain. The train display was cute and my daughter really loved the scavenger hunt. The castle is a beautiful building. Seeing Santa and sipping hot chocolate was a great way to spend a dreary afternoon. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the facilities. The grounds were awesome and on a better day we would have loved to tour them more. A wonderful low key way to spend an afternoon. I can't wait to visit again in spring or summer and see the grounds in bloom.
Yew Dell is a very beautiful property. The little chapel is very charming. The vast amount of plant varieties was amazing.
Visited Yew Dell to walk the grounds, see the model train exhibit and see Santa! We enjoyed hot chocolate and a wonderful relaxed atmosphere as we enjoyed the seasonal music.
I visited Yew Dell for a wedding. The grounds were gorgeous and the wedding setting was absolutely perfect along with the reception which was held in the barn. It is very peaceful here.
Yew Dell Gardens is one of Louisville's--Crestwood's best kept secrets. This is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. If you love flowers, trees, and plants this is the place for you. Russian sage, many varieties of peonies, hostas, roses, etc. You can amble through this beautiful garden at your own pace. There is a shop where you can purchase flowers and garden sculptures. This is well worth the drive.
