Perfect time of year in early mid Oct to visit the location. Could easily spend 2-3hrs strolling the grounds. Undergoing a little renovation project currently in 1 area. Hope to come back one day to check the place out after completion.

This is truly a hidden gem of the Louisville area. Such beautiful, well-maintained gardens! An amazing array of flowers and trees with beautiful architecture to boot! There are plenty of benches along the pathways to "stop and smell the flowers". There is also a cute fairy house garden with an interactive area for the kids!

For years I have said if I am going to get married in Kentucky, the only place I would want to get married is Yew Dell Botanical Gardens. One of the things I love the most is the aisle of trees in front of the event lawn. This last September, my dreams came true!
Jill was wonderful to work with and so easy to coordinate everything. I had a wedding of around 150 people and got married on the event lawn, had my cocktail hour on the stone terrace, and my reception under the Mary F. Rounsavall Pavilion.
Everything was gorgeous! I loved having the castle and cabin for me, my husband, and our bridal party to get ready in. I also loved having the whole Gardens to explore. Every inch of the Gardens are beautiful and made for endless photo opportunities with gorgeous backgrounds. All the locations used had the perfect amount of space! I especially loved how much room we had for dancing under the pavilion. It was so lovely to get married with a variety of seasonal plants and flowers surrounding us. I loved also being able to have a view of the barn during cocktail hour. I also loved the bourbon barrels that Yew Dell provided. I appreciated how easy and helpful the staff was at Yew Dell during all the coordination and the day off, it took a lot of stress off of me! They also made it easy to transport some of my guest that have mobility issues.
There is nowhere else I would have wanted to spend one of the most important days of my life! I love being able to have pictures to look back on with the gorgeous scenery.

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?
