Castle Terrace Garden

About this Planting
Surrounding Yew Dell's iconic Castle, this is one of the most visible and most loved bulb plantings each year. In the 2022 display there were 4,000 Tulips! This season you'll find 2,700 bulbs covering 4 Genus (Fritillaria, Narcissus, Hyacinthus, and Tulipa). With this display we're hoping to combat the fungal issues we've been fighting with our Tulips in the past, create new/exciting designs, diversify our gardens, and show you that Tulips aren't always the answer!
