NOERENBERG GARDENS
 
bulletLocated on the north shore of Lake Minnetonka's Crystal Bay in Orono.  Noerenberg Gardens are among the most beautiful and prestigious gardens in the state.  This former Lake Minnetonka estate of Grain Belt Brewery founder Frederick Noerenberg, was donated by the family to the Park District in 1972.  Noerenberg  is a reminder of the quiet elegance and grace of days gone by.  The park's formal flower gardens are open for tours, informal viewings and outdoor events.  The gardens include a wide variety of unusual annuals and perennials, an assortment of grasses and a large daylily collection.  The park features accessible brick pathways and an ornamental boathouse/gazebo overlooking the lake. 
 
bulletPlease note: terms of the donation prohibit picnics, pets and water-based activities.
