Why Not Try a New Garden Style? Let's Tour Oudolf Garden Detroit for Ideas and Inspiration

- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- Oudolf Garden Detroit is located in Michigan USA on Belle Isle which is an island in the Detroit River. The garden opened to the public on August 28, 2022.
This garden is a great example of a natural planting scheme that focuses on plants and grasses that maintain interest throughout the growing season. Not only that, the plants also attract pollinators and birds, improving the overall biodiversity of Belle Isle.
In this video, I take us on a tour of the garden and talk about what makes the Oudolf style special and some tips on how we might use this style as inspiration for our own gardens.
Oudolf Garden Detroit has a fantastic resource on their website called the interactive map. The map allows people to study the original Oudolf plans and includes plant names and more.

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.
Thanks for watching. How amazing that you got to see the Oudolf's garden. I have seen photos and it looks so beautiful. Thanks for your note.
Nice video friend, you're a great presenter! And a very beautiful garden, so naturalistic and relaxed. Loved it!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
The garden reminds me of the scenery around me when I used to hike.😊
I think it is a beautiful garden. We are lucky to have such a beautiful public space in Detroit.
Wishing Piet's name would have been pronounced correctly, and more specific examples of plants given.
Hi Cindy. You can check out the Oudolf Garden Detroit website for tons of details on the plants. They have an amazing interactive planting plan. As far as mispronouncing Piet's name...I did my best. Thanks for being kind about it.
He has many great books on his gardens and the different kinds of plants. The plants will vary on where you live.
❤hearing all your comments about this inspiring garden.
Thanks for watching.
Great video.....love his gardens. Thank you
I love his gardens too. The garden in Detroit is gorgeous.
Lovely video!
Thanks so much.
Hello! I love your amazing video! 👸 Big like! 👍 39
Thank you and thanks for watching.
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.
I love his style too. It was really eye opening to watch the garden being planted. There are thousands of plants. I bought the book Planting-A New Perspective by Oudolf and Kingsbury and it's fantastic as well.
@@GardenMoxie Mine is by Oudolf and Gerriksen, it's very useful indeed.
Thank you for sharing❤
💚💚💚
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!
What a great idea and such happy memories.
Thanks for the tour of this new garden! I love Piet Oudolf's work, especially the use of grasses. Can't wait to go back to the Lurie Garden in Chicago this Spring.
His gardens are gorgeous. 💚
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. 😊
Thanks for watching.
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! ❤
Thanks for your note. You are going to love the garden. It's in its glory in mid to late summer.
It is truly lush and amazing garden, I think Roy Diblick was a co-designer of this particular garden. Thank you for the beautiful, relaxing and as always very informative video.
Thanks for watching. I will have to read more on the Oudolf Garden Detroit website about Roy Diblick. I appreciate the information.
I think they have worked together here and there. Roy is a great source of information. I visited his nursery in Wisconsin a few years ago, there is a beautiful garden attached for customers to wander through.
@@p.h.c.1113 Sounds amazing!
It's a great place and should be in every city. I dream of having such a garden in my city, Tarnów, Poland.
You are right. Every city deserves to have such inspiring green spaces. Thank you for your note.
I am SUCH a fan of Piet Oudolf's work.. perfect timing on your video bc I had sub'd watching your last one :-)
I am a huge Oudolf fan. You can appreciate how amazed I was when I learned he was building a garden in Detroit. I love being able to see it through all the seasons. Autumn, in my opinion, is the best.
@@GardenMoxie couldn't agree more! Autumn is the absolute best to me too.
I love your videos for the beautiful visuals, plant info, narration, and inspiration! This famous designer and plantsman's name is pronounced "Oooo dof", and not "Ol dorf."
Thanks for the tip.
Sorry but you're actually wrong. Maybe you're describing a nativised pronunciation, but originally it's pronounced "Ow-dolf" [ˈpeet' ˈʌudɔl(ə)f]
Also check out the High Line in Chelsea NYC
Indeed! That is on my list of gardens I want to visit.
Beautiful video Sue xx
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a great garden to visit.
I did not know Piet Oudolf had designed a garden on Belle Isle. I am going to plan a visit this summer. I love the natural look and this is going to be a treat. I go to Dow Gardens frequently and enjoy that. Thank you
You are going to LOVE the new garden. Their website is a great resource for plant suggestions too. They have an interactive map that is incredible.
I’m relatively new to Piet’s work but wow❤
The garden is stunning at the end of summer. I love visiting.
Beautiful, soothing and informative Sue. On my list to visit.
Thanks Jo-Ann. It would be fun to tour the garden together.
@@GardenMoxie absolutely we shall go together. 4 hours from Toronto to Detroit. Can't wait to make it a reality.
You might like Greg Loades’ book The Modern Cottage Garden. It combines classic cottage gardening with the new perennial movement. 🌸
This is the reason I watch and follow a lot of RUclipsr in garden interests. This is the way a learn and get inspired. Thanks for sharing, following from Ohio .
You might want to come visit the Detroit garden towards the end of the summer this season. It is really amazing.
@@GardenMoxie i think I’ll have to , it looks beautiful.
Awesome. Can one do some of this with dappled sun and adjoining woods? Any links?
I recommend checking out the Oudolf Garden Detroit website. They have tons of information about the plants. The garden in the video sits in full sun. You can do something similar. You just need to pick plants that right for the conditions where the garden will be.
What are the white blooming plants at 6:15? I noticed they had loads of pollinators.
That is Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta. The Oudolf Garden Detroit website has an interactive map that is pretty amazing. They also list all the plant photos at this link:

@@GardenMoxie Thanks so much for responding and for the link. I'm definitely going to be planting this one this year.
@@pollinateordie6399 You're welcome.
When are plants cut down?
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.
Thank you for the help leaning to correct pronounce the name. I appreciate you being kind about it.
