Trees. Magical, noble, life-giving trees. They are our connection to the past, present and future. Their strength, deeply rooted in the earth, keeps us grounded during times like these.
When Theodore and Martha Lee Klein first bought the property that later became Yew Dell Nursery, there were only two trees growing on the barren farmland. Together, their family grew every single tree at Yew Dell from a seed or sapling. When their youngest son, Karl, was born, Theodore and Martha Lee decided to take his picture every year by the Japanese flowering crab apple when it bloomed in spring. As Karl and his own little family grew, the tree grew too. The flowering crab apple eventually became old and weak and unsafe so it was removed from the garden. Fortunately, Karl had the foresight to propagate it and planted a sapling where the parent tree once grew. To this day, Karl’s flowering crab apple still beautifully blooms in the spring next to the Walled Garden. We are proud of our roots and forever grateful for the seeds the Klein family sowed.

Join Jacob in a creek in Southern Indiana as he explains how plants come from the wild and become common in the nursery trade.
Frequently seen in many gardens and all garden centers, the smooth leaf hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) is a native plant to most of Southeastern U.S. Most all of the ones seen in the wild in Kentuckiana are in dense shade along creeks and cliffs. IGTV tour to follow. #checkinginwithyew #hydrangeaarborescens

Happy #MandalaMonday! Here’s the biggest and smallest mandalas we’ve made to date. The massive mandala was created in May 2018 using tulips. The mini mandala was created in September 2017 using itty bitty mushrooms from our Woodland Trails, goldenrod and persimmon seeds. Making art with nature is a wonderfully soothing activity to do with materials available in your own yard. Fun for the whole family! No matter its size or complexity, a mandala will make you smile... guaranteed! :) #YDbuddinggardeners #checkinginwithyew
