Planting at new Oudolf garden on Belle Isle: ‘It’s a piece of art’ – Detroit News

Putting together a one-of-a-kind garden with 26,000 plants is a lot like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Just ask Roy Diblik and Austin Eischeid. They’ve done it. Diblik and Eischeid are part of a team of professionals and volunteers working in the city until Friday to bring to life a garden on Belle Isle designed by world renowned Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf. But getting 106 varieties of plants in the ground in 15 25-foot-long garden beds — all in a very specific design — takes precision.
