The garden, designed by renowned Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf, is in bloom and ready to wander through on a site Oudolf selected: in front of the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon, in view of the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory to the east and the Remick Bandshell to the west.ĭialing into a press call from the Netherlands on Friday, Oudolf, who was not able to travel to Detroit for the opening due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, said he was drawn to the site for its somewhat central location on Belle Isle (he did not want the garden to be "lost" in the sprawling 1.5-square-mile park) that already draws crowds to the conservatory and the Belle Isle Aquarium.
