Belle Isle garden with famed designer Piet Oudolf breaks ground | Detroit Free Press

Belle Isle will become even more beautiful when an intricately designed garden built with thousands of local flowers opens next year.

Oudolf Garden Detroit, a creation of Dutch designer Piet Oudolf that’s set to open in fall 2020, broke ground June 11 on the island.

The 2.5-acre space, currently a marshy field in front of the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon Tower, will source about 90% of its plants from Michigan.
