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.
