Several years ago, Grosse Pointe Farms resident Maura Campbell, then-president of the Garden Club of Michigan, tasked members to come up with a dream project — something significant and long-lasting.
The much-anticipated Oudolf Garden on Belle Isle will be officially opened Saturday. Designed by the world-famous Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf, a leading figure of the “New Perennial” movement, the beds were planted last fall and through this summer, but have been fenced off as the plants get established.
The beautification of Detroit’s Belle Isle park continues with the public opening of a 2.5-acre (1-hectare) perennial garden designed by Dutch horticulturist Piet Oudolf.A ribbon-cutting is scheduled Aug. 28 for Oudolf Garden Detroit outside the island’s carillon.
