Inspiring Tour of the Oudolf Garden Detroit

This garden is awesome! I hope you will be inspired by this video of the Oudolf Garden Detroit. It’s only 3 years old with a mission to “Bring people together around a new kind of garden.”

Oudolf Garden Detroit is open to the general public every day of the week from dawn to dusk on Detroit’s Belle Isle.

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 its all-volunteer Oudolf Garden Detroit Grounds Crew.

The 3 acre garden sits in front of and around the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon on Belle Isle, a Michigan state park situated in the picturesque Detroit River. The Garden is divided into four district areas; the Main Garden, the Rain Garden, Piet’s Bird Border and the Meadows.
