As we make our way through spring in Kentucky, flowers, bushes, and trees are blooming all around us. While we’ve mainly had to view the colors of the season around our own homes during quarantine, many destinations around the state are in bloom and just as beautiful as always. At the Yew Dell Botanical Gardens in Crestwood, you’ll find a castle garden in Kentucky that is as magical as it gets. It is so stunning that you should go ahead and add it to your calendar for next spring when you can see the blooms in person.

Situated in the city of Crestwood, not far from Louisville, is a hidden oasis and castle garden in Kentucky.
