Hi, love this video. I'm Dutch and I had the honour to meet Piet Oudolf a couple of times at his home and see his own garden. It was a beautiful experience and back than he and his wife had a beautiful nursery. Many of those perennials I bought from there ( some are 20+ years) are still very good and flowering year after year there socks off🌺💮 , so to me he is a real garden Hero! I love the Detroit garden, very beautiful 💫✨ Bye.

What a coincidence! I have admired P.Oudolf for years and I have recently bought his book about creating natural gardens. I love his style of planting, I wish I had more space to do the same.

My most cherished childhood memories are of playing in the tall grass fields of my grandparent’s pastures. Now that I have space for a garden I’ve been trying to design a border that evokes the old farm using grasses, tall flowers and crushed shell paths. I had no idea this was a style, much less a named style. This garden is just beautiful!

Thank you for this video. For me, as a dutch person living in michigan, its nice to see that Piet Oudolf designed the Detroit garden on Belle Isle. I always wanted to see Belle Isle and now especially. I love visiting gardens. But since I live at Higgins Lake it's a bit far unfortunately. I guess I will have to settle for his book for now. 😊

Thank you Garden Moxie for showing a beautiful jewel in Detroit, Michigan. I didn't know about this new garden or heard of the garden designer. I visited Belle Isle Park last in 2021 for a birthday party. I will take a ride to visit this summer. I won't be getting on the Giant Slide ride, lol... 😳 I had way too much fun on it growing up. I love watching your videos and some people can be so rude in the comments section. Great work! ❤

I visited the garden this past January and I think many of the plants are cut down in early Spring. They have an excellent website that tracks all the plantings and status of the garden. It is worth checking out if you are a fan of Oudolf.

If I wanted a weed patch, I'd just stop gardening. I wouldn't put effort into it.

Beautiful video, but I’m afraid mispronounces the designer’s name. ˈʌudɔl(ə)f. That’s OU like ouch! dolf, rhymes with golf. But a lovely tour nevertheless.
