The Amazing World of Plants: New Trends in Plant Selection and Their Influence on Garden Design

 

Our Host in Kentucky

 Yew Dell Gardens, the former estate of the late plantsman Theodore Klein, is a 33-acre public garden located in Crestwood, Kentucky, just a short drive from Louisville. A renowned plantsman, Theodore Klein was also a self-taught artisan who personally crafted the buildings and gardens of Yew Dell.

Through the years, Klein collected more than 1,000 unusual specimen trees and shrubs that were displayed and evaluated in his arboretum. He also developed new plant varieties for the regional landscape, amassing more than 60 unique introductions over his professional career.

Named as one of The Garden Conservancy’s Preservation Projects, Yew Dell Gardens is a horticultural treasure and an ideal setting to explore the amazing world of plants.
