Noerenberg Gardens

As the old phrase goes, sometimes we all need to “stop and smell the roses.”  In an ever-frantic society, we often trade up lakeside strolls for latté scrimmages.  The closest we come to getting in touch with nature these days is the Discovery Channel.  So, isn’t it time for a little one-on-one with God’s green earth?

Considered by many as the finest formal garden within the state, Noerenberg Gardens is located in Orono on the north shore of Lake Minnetonka’s Crystal Bay.  Previously owned by Grain Belt Beer founder Frederick Noerenberg, the estate was donated to the Park District in 1972.  Finely manicured and preserved; the garden offers a wide spectrum of vibrant trees, perennials, annuals, shrubs and an extensive daylily collection.  Walk along the brick pathways as you absorb the lush scenery and exquisite flowerbeds.  Visit the ornamental boathouse for a taste of nostalgia or take in Lake Minnetonka’s view by the vine-encased gazebo. 

 

Noerenberg is open May 1st through October 15th from 8 AM to sunset.  The parking is free, the monthly tours are free, so what are you waiting for?  Trust me, you won’t want to overlook this hidden gem.
