Oudolf Garden Detroit is starting to take shape despite delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic and rising water levels.
“It’s come so far,” said Doug Anglin of Anglin Civil Construction, who brought his wife and children out to Belle Isle on Sunday to see the work that he’s done on the garden that was designed by the famous landscape architect Piet Oudolf of the Netherlands, for the Garden Club of Michigan. “When we first started here we were just pushing mud and dirt around.”

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.
