Belle Isle Oudolf Garden Tour Members Only

Hosted by Wild Ones Ann Arbor Area Chapter, North Oakland Chapter and Wayne County Michigan Chapter

Members Only Public Garden Tour Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains

On Friday, June 20th, at 9:00 AM Wild Ones chapters from North Oakland and Ann Arbor, will join our Wayne County chapter for a tour of the Ouldolf Garden - Detroit located on Belle Isle. Meredith Simpson, a volunteer with Oudolf Garden Detroit has very graciously agreed to lead the three Wild Ones chapters on a tour of this garden!

Piet Ouldolf is a Dutch garden designer who has, to date, designed 20 "natural" gardens throughout Europe and the US. Five of the US gardens, including Oudolf Garden - Detroit, are listed below. 

·         Oudolf Garden Detroit at Belle Isle Park (Michigan, USA, 2020)

·         Meadow garden, Delaware Botanic Gardens (Dagsboro, Delaware, USA, 2019)

·         High Line (New York City, 2006)

·         Battery Park (New York City, 2003)

·         Lurie GardenMillennium Park (Chicago, 2003 with Kathryn Gustafson and Shannon Nichol)

While the Ouldolf Garden - Detroit would not be considered a native garden, or necessarily even a sustainable garden, our takeaway from this event could be how to incorporate world-class garden designs and plant groupings into our own native garden projects at home and in our community! 

I'm looking forward to seeing you there! Reach out if you have any questions.
