Yew Dell Botanical Gardens

How long should I plan for a visit to the gardens?

Many people ask us how long it takes to see the garden, so we've adapted our list from one used by our good friend Tony Avent of Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina.

• Casual visitor looking for a nice place to walk around and enjoy pretty things; 45-60 minutes
• Moderate home gardener wishing to check out the gardens; 1-3 hours
• Avid gardener, landscape architect, amateur photographer or academic egg head; 4-8 hours;
• Serious plant dweeb looking to thoroughly investigate each and every plant and correct the typos on our plant labels; 2-5 days
• For those who think they need more time in the garden, we can suggest several good therapists. Or, you can volunteer full-time in the garden!
