Friday Favorite April 23, 2010: Yew Dell Gardens

Yew Dell Gardens is a botanical garden in Crestview, Kentucky. I stumbled upon it accidentally as I was trying to find some gardening information, and instantly became fascinated with this gorgeous botanical gardens. I hope to visit it one day. The gardens are filled with gorgeous blooms, some very recognizable and others that are more unusual or rare. It has several unique and lovely buildings including a "castle" and would be a perfect location for a garden wedding. They offer classes and workshops, a concert series, and many different events throughout the year. If you are nearby it would be worth your while to check it out. The photos are stunning and I am sure the gardens in person would be just as beautiful as they appear in the photos.

"The site now occupied by Yew Dell Gardens served as the home, gardens, arboretum and commercial nursery of the late commercial nurseryman Theodore Klein who was for more than 50 years, one of the leaders of the regional nursery and landscape industry. Opened to the public in 2005, Yew Dell is now one of only 13 American gardens designated as Partnership Gardens by the Garden Conservancy, a national group dedicated to preserving America's exceptional gardens. Yew Dell Gardens serves the community as a significant educational resource, a distinctive horticultural treasure, and a priceless cultural asset."
