Oudolf Garden Detroit

On Friday afternoon, we will be hosting a guided tour of Oudolf Garden Detroit, designed by High Line planting designer Piet Oudolf.

Inspired by the energy of Detroit after receiving a “love letter from Detroit” from The Garden Club of Michigan (GCM), Piet Oudolf designed this naturalistic public garden on Belle Isle. Both artistic and ecological by design, he chose perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees for their hardiness, durability, and ever-changing textures and colors for enjoyment in all four seasons. Oudolf Garden Detroit differs from other public Oudolf gardens in that it is run by Friends of the Oudolf Garden and its all-volunteer Grounds Crew.
