A Brief Overview

Yew Dell Gardens is a botanical garden dedicated to garden education, exquisite display and research into new and superior plants for the region. The grounds boast an impressive collection of unusual plant specimens, outstanding gardens in a wide array of styles, and unique buildings including a stone castle, extensive fieldstone walls and a Cotswold's-styled fieldstone house. Garden classes are offered for all groups including school children, homeowners, avid gardeners and green-industry professionals.  Ongoing research involves collection and evaluation of a tremendous variety of garden plants as well as breeding and selection to develop new plants for regional gardens. Community and rental events round out the rapidly growing slate of annual offerings.

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. 

The mission of Yew Dell Gardens is to continue the horticultural legacy of Theodore Klein; to encourage exploration of the arboretum, gardens and extraordinary architectural setting; and to provide opportunities for education, enrichment and enjoyment.

Yew Dell Gardens is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
