Yew Dell Gardens Review

Wonderful place to visit and take pictures! We are really looking forward to the spring and summer flowers. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful.

Such a wonderful place! We went for the first time during the Halloween event and will definitely go back when it gets warm!

Very pleasant and peaceful place to walk with friends!

Went for a wedding on a sort of rainy, sort of cool autumn evening. Still seemed like a neat place with great views and nice facilities.

Great stop for Halloween trick or treating, botanical gardens, and great scenery. A must visit at some point! They made Apple juice with an old school Apple press and it was amazing!!

Beautiful botanical garden hidden away in Crestwood, Ky. It was beautifully decorated for autumn. Easy walking paths, pretty gardens and scenery. Loved the castle, barns and unique plants. Admission $9.

Nice and relaxing place to visit | A very nice and relaxing place to visit

We had an excellent time with the entire family. The garden was beautiful and the kids loved doing their scavenger hunt! We will be back!

The location and views within the gardens are spectacular. The castle like buildings are original and authentic and set off the rest of the scenery here. The staff are helpful and friendly and ready to explain some of the history and back story behind some of the things within the grounds. I highly recommend this location for a place to visit.

Beautiful grounds to enjoy an afternoon stroll. The honey that is sold in the gift shop is Awesome!

This place is fantastic! I loved going there for a walk in every season.

Very beautiful grounds, nice hiking trails, venues for private parties, and many not easy to find plants for purchase

We really enjoyed the halloween event at Yew Dell Gardens. They had a magician that was super entertaining for kids and adults.

A lesser-known site outside of Louisville. This is a truly special place. Be sure to thank the wonderful people who work there. You will remember your visit and experience.

Very nice for the area. But most things in Louisville seem to be a bit small compared to other similar cities.

Beautiful place to walk around and see alot of the amazing things this world provides

This place is cool. If you enjoy botanical's, then you must visit. I always find something new to marvel at and I am thanking that we have this in our area.

Absolutely stunning flowers and trees. Visited on Louisville Cultural Pass but would be worth paying for.

Nicely tucked away in the city outskirts. Really calming expanse with a variety of flora (they were still blooming, i went at the start of spring), super friendly and informative staff. Will head back there again when the bloom is full, and when they'll have their summet events. A nice way to chill out.

It is a good place to have a wedding and reception!

Very nice. Didn't want to go at first. Wife pretty much said we're going. I was able to identify some plants in my own yard. Shade in a lot of places. Scavenger hunt for kids. Rest rooms were clean. Very nice staff.

Great place to visit. Friendly staff. Will be back

This is a nice botanical garden, but it is not anything near Longwood Gardens or other major gardens in the USA. It was a good place to get out and stretch our legs after a long drive across Kentucky.

Beautiful gardens. Something to enjoy any time of year.

Rudest place ever! REFUSED entrance to a disabled individual because she brought her service dog with her! This place is obviously ignorant of federal laws regarding persons with disabilities. Will NEVER attempt a return to this place again! Such ignorance, insensitivity and lack of accommodation is simply unacceptable.

A great place to visit. Go say hello to the fairy in the fairy forest. But watch out they are small and may get under your feet.

Loved this place. 9.00 was a bit pricey but it was worth it. Nice hiking trails there too. I will return, soon

Wonderful botanical gardens with a variety of plants trees and settings to explore. My whole family loved it.

We really enjoyed spending a few hours walking around this botanical garden. Unfortunately, the buildings are all closed for COVID right now, but the idea was to get some fresh air anyway.

Beautiful Gardens enjoyed by humans, butterflies, birds & bees.

We couldn't see all of it, but what we saw was wonderful.

Fantastic place to spend a nice day, perfect venue for wedding and proposal. An indoor venue option and outdoor venue option. Very friendly staff.

Nice place for a walk or to see interesting plants.

Just a real relaxing place I think everybody should just go in there at least once

Beautiful Gardens. Went on a Thursday for free music. Not that good though. Gardens were lovely. Had food and beverage vendors.

Absolutely amazing property! The service they provided for my friend's wedding was outstanding.

Yew Dell is an excellent botanical garden just outside Louisville in Oldham County, just two miles off of I71 and exit 14 providing easy access. It is focused on cultivated plants and wonderful walking paths. In addition they have excellent programs, including many Gardening Seminars and an excellent Saturday morning program for younger children. They also have several Summer Music Concerts for Adults.

They have many stellar events, including the Hummingbird Fest and Boo-dell for Halloween which is very family friendly. They have a nice Christmas display with a very well done Model Railroad. Their Spring Plant Sale has many plants that are very hard to find, and they are doing some excellent plant breeding research Their staff is helpful, patient, and polite even when they have a large event, and the volunteers help ensure they always have plenty of people there.

Went most recently for children's day. Was good. Planted pumpkins and made pickles. Granddaughter enjoyed it.

We received a warm welcome. Unfortunately we got caught in a severe thunderstorm and tornado warning. I can't say enough about how well we were cared for during the storm, bringing us into shelter and giving us passes to come back another day. What we did get to see was beautiful.

We will go back later in the week with our grandkids!

We are lucky to have Yew Dell as a part of our community! Everything was lovely and beautiful!! The kids loved it and it wore them out a but for when we got home! Everything is explained well and clean! We love coming here!!

Very pretty. We enjoyed the wedding reception that we attended there.

Small but very well maintained, definitely worth the annual pass for reciprocity.

Really cool place, great for looking around, exploring a little bit.

Went for a wedding. The grounds and meeting area were well maintained. Plan to go back again.

What an excellent venue and overall beautiful place to visit, if you get the chance to go, don't pass it up

So beautiful, can't wait to come back, when all the flowers are bloomed!

Beautiful serene place to walk, sit and enjoy the gardens and facilities.

Traffic was at a dead stop! We saw sign for garden. Was an easy decision to take the exit. What a delight! Nice gift shop. Beautiful garden with multiple venues for wedding and other special events. Classes were advertised here.

We really enjoyed the secret garden adventure, thank you again

Really didnt know what to expect when I brought my family here and was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful gardens and landscaping. Kids under 12 are free. They have a free scavenger hunt for kids as well which will keep them occupied. Went down the trails to find the beaver dam but couldnt get stroller past the bridge construction. Also couldnt go inside the castle because of a wedding. Oh well, still enjoyed.

It was wonderful...We met Holly whose grandpa and Grandma owned the property
Bought a Chloe Clematis...First time visiting...don't miss the fairy forest.

Beautiful place to be in contact with nature, only they should put a cafeteria because you walk a lot and people need to cool off.

It is a small botanical garden, was originally a home and farm. It is a lovely 2 hour walk through. No buildings were open today due to Covid-19 and we didn't do the hiking trails due to recent rains. I imagine it would be easy to spend 3-4 hours wandering, resting, daydreaming. There are picnic tables in the arboretum for picnicking. The grounds are beautiful with some unique plants and trees not normally seen in Kentucky and today they had a plant sale. I don't know if that is all the time or not. There is a wonderful fairy garden that we all enjoyed. Looking forward to going back.

Very pretty. We went the day of the fairy celebration. Kids enjoyed the Kona Ice since it was hot.

We have visited this wonderful garden in many seasons at many different times and always find something to make us happy. They have world class gardens as well as interesting sculptures and even fun programs for kids. It is truly a hidden gem. Go, you will be ever grateful you did!

Amazing and well maintained garden! All staff was very nice and welcoming. We loved fairy castles and pavilion with cactae. The whole ground is picturesque and quiet.

It's still winter, but I can imagine it will be really beautiful in a few weeks. Will have to return then!

Awesome and growing selection of plants. Really amazing grounds with excellent buildings

A peaceful place to "just be", a great place to teach kids about plant life, or the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors with your family .
