Yew Dell Botanical Gardens 6220 Old Lagrange Road, Crestwood, KY 40014

"We had a relaxing time at Yell Dell. We spent about two hours enjoying wandering the grounds looking at the beautiful plants and unique trees. There was an adorable fairy trail to walk through and a castle with a wedding just finishing up. They do have a nice cafe and seating that is covered overlooking open space. Clean restrooms and signs everywhere naming the plants and trees. If you can walk without difficulty there is a path around two ponds on their property adjacent to the castle. You have to take the stairs down to a grassy path. Head to the concert that has a gate. It almost looks like you are entering a restricted area but it is still the property of Yell. They have cute Gnome’s sporadically placed along the hiking paths. I loved that and they have names. We purchased a couple of pots for my plants in their nice gift shop."

"20230910 This garden is dogfriendly on Sundays except for special event days!! It cos6s $9 per adult, and free for puppies. The ladies working here are so friendly and welcoming. This garden is smaller than I expected, but adding the woodland and Arboretum, the garden is a lot bigger. The highlight of the garden is the castle. I didn't look further inside the castle beyond looking inside from the front door. The castle is smaller but the exterior is very cute. Perfect for photo ops. Next to the food and restrooms, there are Graves for the kitties that passed on. Tha6s very sweet. We ran into a very sweet and passive kitty. It was sleeping behind the flower pot, and I was able to pet him. I have cats at home, and one if my pups doesn't know how to play with cats. She barks at them, and this kitty just let her without running away."

"Absolutely beautiful place! The flowers and plants are gorgeous. The buildings are well taken care of and the layout is an easy stroll. Attending a Bourbon and Concert series tonight with a Celtic vibe. Wonderful sounds under a pavilion type are surrounded by nature. Good food and drinks available for purchase. Garden store was open for items to purchase. Beautiful evening with others listening to good music."

"We recently paid our first visit to Yew Del Botanical Gardens. It was Father's day and my did some research to find on outdoor place not far from home and ended up here. I had no idea it existed, but I don't get out this way very often. The entry way is through the Tobacco barn, and it's a nifty way to enter such a unique place. The admission price is very reasonable ($9 for adults, and veterans (like myself) are free). Walk through the Tobacco Barn / Gift Shop and there you are, surrounded by all kinds of colourful, natural beauty. We meandered through a large part of the Botanical Gardens in roughly and hour-and-a-half at a very relaxed pace. I particularly liked the Castle Terrace, looking very medieval and stately shortly after you enter the Gardens. The Fairy Forest is a quaint little area with miniature fairy houses and a well-shaded area and plenty of places to sit. The Pollinator Meadow has a nice, very visible, flat walking path that's a nice stroll on a Sunday afternoon. Yew Dell is a nicely sized Botanical Garden. It's not so large that you feel like you're missing something, but comfortable enough to feel like you got to see it in all its natural splendor. If you haven't been, I recommend it. It's a very pleasant visit to a quiet, relaxing outdoor experience...and who couldn't use more of that?"
