The Pollinator Meadow
In 2017 Yew Dell, with support from the Kentucky Waterways Alliance and the Oldham County Community Foundation, began the creation of a three-acre native grass and wildflower pollinator meadow located at the start of our woodland trails. This area was once a grazing pasture for the Klein family farm.
Our meadow provides a natural habitat for pollinators like honeybees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, which are essential to the human food chain and populating many of the plants we all love. The meadow is the perfect place to relax for a picnic, hunt for insects, or learn how to recreate your own pollinator-friendly landscape at home. Many of the grasses and wildflowers planted in our meadow are also available for sale in our plant market or at other local nurseries. By exploring our meadow and creating similar plantings in your own garden, you can promote healthier pollinator populations.
Be sure to also check out the pollinator backpack from our gift shop for fun, educational activities to do in the pollinator meadow and around the grounds (available spring – fall).
