The Hudson-Webber Foundation will grant the Belle Isle Conservancy $750,000 for its new garden from internationally renowned designer Piet Oudolf.

The approximately 2-acre garden on Detroit's Belle Isle Park is among recipients of a round of gifts from the Detroit-based foundation worth $2.2 million, according to a Hudson-Webber news release.

The Dutch garden designer's creation on the island park requires $3 million-$4 million, according to a document on volunteer group Oudolf Garden Detroit's website dated Aug. 30. That figure comprises $150,000 for design, $900,000-$1.7 million for garden installation and $2 million-$2.2 million for an endowment to maintain the garden.

As of Aug. 30, Oudolf Garden Detroit had raised enough money for the design and another $150,000 toward the installation. The Hudson-Webber grant was announced Monday.

Oudolf Garden Detroit is leading the garden effort with the Belle Isle Conservancy as its fiscal sponsor.

The public garden is expected to be planted in late summer 2019 near the Nancy Brown Peace Memorial Carillon and Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, with paths, seating and observation mounds throughout.

It will require a substantial volunteer effort from gardeners, block clubs and young people, according to the release and Oudolf Garden Detroit.

Oudolf selected the site himself during a visit to Detroit.

The Garden Club of Michigan led the effort to bring an Oudolf garden to Belle Isle. His past work includes the Lurie Garden in Chicago and the High Line in New York.
