Oudolf Garden Detroit: Boardwalk Update

June 6, 2024

With support from the Erb Foundation, Oudolf Garden Detroit is currently building an ADA accessible boardwalk to give visitors another way to experience Piet Oudolf’s incredible design on Belle Isle. Garden goers will be able to sit at two different locations on the boardwalk and it will feature a meadow style planting design by Piet Oudolf to complement his matrix garden beds and rain garden.

Fundraising efforts are still ongoing to purchase the plants that will occupy the meadow. If you are interested in supporting the effort you can sponsor plants at oudolfgardendetroit.org.
