Plan your spring visit to Yew Dell today!

It all starts with a seed!

One seed can lead to a long summer of delicious vegetables or to many years of beautiful blooms and lush foliage. Whether you’re growing crops, ornamentals, or annuals, starting from seed is a small and easy task that can yield big results.

Depending on what plants you are growing, there are different methods that work best. Some seed should be started early indoors, while others prefer to be sown directly into the garden. It is always best to follow the instructions and recommendations on your seed packet. Here at Yew Dell, we’ve already started hundreds of seeds that will later be planted in the gardens or placed in our plant market to purchase.

Another one from today... The BIG Bloom this year is just too good to not overshare. #TheBigBloom

The BIG Bloom is our annual bulb display. We currently have 17,000 tulips and hyacinths blooming in our garden. We hope you will plan a visit to Yew Dell Botanical Gardens this spring! The BIG Bloom will bloom until early May with peak color in mid-April.

The BIG Bloom is looking spectacular today!

Interested in learning more about the design behind the Big Bloom? Take a behind-the-scenes tour with our Garden and Arboretum Manager, Sayde Heckman before the gardens open to the public!

When: Sunday, April 11th from 11 am-12 pm
Price: $10/$20 - Yew Dell Members/Non-Members

We added a second date because the first walk sold out so fast. So purchase your tickets today! Link in bio 🌷

We trial and evaluate the plants we sell to make sure they grow well in this region and in your own home garden.

Plant spotlight: Rudbeckia maxima (Giant Coneflower)
This is one big honkin' coneflower! A basal mass of bright, blue/green foliage yields an 8-9' tall stalk with multiple yellow flowers with dark brown centers in mid to late summer. Makes a huge statement in the summer garden. Loves hot, sunny sites with dryish soil once established.

You will choose your curbside pickup date at checkout.
