#DidYewKnow there is a pet cemetery at Yew Dell? The area in front of the corn crib serves as a resting place for Klein family pets. Theodore carved the headstones, beginning his interest in stone carving which is seen all around the grounds. Continuing the tradition, an artist carved a cat headstone as a memorial to Persimmon, the first garden cat of Yew Dell Botanical Gardens. #spookyseason #tbt #TheodoreThursday
Plan your spooky visit to Yew Dell! Next week, we will be celebrating Halloween Tuesday, October 27th through Sunday, November 1st. We have several family-friendly activities planned including a Spooky Plant self-guided tour, Scarecrow and ArBOOretum scavenger hunt, and a fall fairy house display! Boo Dell might be canceled, but nature isn’t. 🍁 🍂

Beautiful morning at Yew Dell. #PollinatorMeadow #OverlookGarden

Bulb planting around the castle began this morning! Thanks to @wave3news for coming out to document our volunteers in action. They planted a total of 3000 bulbs. Now we wait for spring... #TheBigBloom #WeLoveOurVolunteers

You wore the perfect shirt for the occasion, Oliver. #yewsmell #corpseflower

IT’S ALIVE!
The corpse flower is blooming and it smells horrible. Its horrifying aroma hits you upon entering the glass greenhouse. Pee-yew! Don’t miss this perfectly creepy/spooky/stinky Halloween experience. Plan a visit on Tuesday or Wednesday because this flower only blooms for 2-3 days! Our hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are 10 am-4 pm #yewsmell

Fall color in the Arboretum #fallishere

Another surprise bloom! Hardy Ground Orchid (Bletilla striata ‘Big Bob’)

Typically this shade-loving perennial blooms mid-late spring, but is surprising us will spectacular blooms in mid-autumn.
Despite the frost, it’s still not too late to get your plants in the ground! This plant along with many other awesome perennials, are available for sale through our gift shop and in our online Plant Market. Link in bio 🌿

It’s coming.

As if 2020 couldn’t get any stranger, we are on zombie watch here at Yew Dell. One of our corpse flowers (Amorphophallus konjac) decided to bloom just in time for Halloween. Come smell for yourself...

Bulb planting for the 2021 Big Bloom has begun!

So far, 33 volunteers and staff have helped plant 7,850 bulbs. We will plant a total of 16,770 bulbs. It takes a village to create a spectacular Big Bloom! Now, we wait for spring...

The American Beech (Fagus Grandiflora)

Our American Beeches set the scene for fall as they drop their leaves, creating a rust-colored blanket on the path beneath their canopy. We love this tree for its fall color, but another noteworthy characteristic is its fantastic bark. An American beech has a stunningly simple, smooth, light gray bark. Its trunk is a perfect contrast to its bright, fall-colored surroundings. It feels like magic walking down the path under these majestic American Beech trees. Plan a visit to our gardens and experience it for yourself! 🍂
