Orono Estate

http://www.windsorcompanies.com

An elegantly landscaped estate was designed to frame views, offer tranquility, and provide numerous spaces with a variety of experiences.

Long, meandering bluestone paths interconnect formal garden spaces with natural woodlands. World-famous bronze sculpture provides personality to an otherwise pastoral place. Groundcovers of Pachysandra, Hosta, and Heuchera are planted en masse to firmly shape garden spaces. A stone wall retains the generous main bluestone terrace. Though it resides a half-mile from the water, the home is positioned perfectly to provide a captivating view of Lake Minnetonka.

Over many years the evolution of this home and landscape has earned Windsor Companies numerous design awards from the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association and the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Beautiful cutting gardens edged in shrubs lead up to the pavilion. The homeowners use it often for gathering floral arrangements, once again connecting their house to the spectacular landscape.More:Longwood Gardens' Pathways Invite ExplorationGarden Tour: Edith Wharton's The Mount

A cutting garden occupies this area between the main house and the pool and tennis court. Lesson from this garden: Choose flowers you'll enjoy using in floral arrangements inside the house. See more of this property
