Planting postponed for new Belle Isle garden; historic water levels to blame – The Detroit News
Historically high water levels are putting a damper on plans for a highly anticipated new garden on Belle Isle.
Eighteen thousand plants were planned to go in the ground in mid-September — the first major planting — at Oudolf Garden Detroit, a new garden designed by world renowned Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf. It’s to be installed in front of the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon right next to the Detroit River.
Fall 2019 Planting Postponed to 2020 due to High Water
You cannot control Mother Nature. As you may have heard in the news lately, or experienced personally, the Great Lakes have surpassed 100-year records for high water levels this summer! It has impacted people across the region and it’s impacted our garden too. The Belle Isle garden site is right next to the Detroit River in the middle of the Great Lakes basin. Our wetland looks more like a lake, and the groundwater is still quite high all over the garden site.
