Oudolf Garden Detroit differs from other public Oudolf gardens in that it is run by its all-volunteer Oudolf Garden Detroit Grounds Crew.

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. 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.

Oudolf Garden Detroit is open to the general public every day of the week from dawn to dusk on Detroit’s Belle Isle. Bringing people together around a new kind of garden.
