Entrance and Visitor Center Garden

Front Gate Garden

About this Planting
The Front Gate display is planted each fall by the entire Yew Dell staff during our Big Bloom Workday. Together we are able to have fun, play in the dirt, and plant 3,100 bulbs in under 2 hours! This season you'll see waves of Hyacinth, Daffodil, and one of our all time favorite Tulips.

Visitor Center Garden

About this Planting
Ornamental Onions and Daffodils oh my! Starting last season we have been transitioning the Visitor Center display into a dramatic and worthy of an entrance perennial garden. Here you'll find four different Ornamental Onions, which look to be out of a Dr. Seuss book, that bloom later in the spring season.
