Dutch garden designer eyes Belle Isle

Other than the forest section, all of Belle Isle has been intensely modified from its natural state. The site described is currently grass. Whatever he does will likely be equally artificial as mowed grass and a man made lake, but at least there will be plants there.

I have a hard time equating an internationally renowned garden with "racing" or a "new mall" on Belle Isle. But while we're opposing man-made structures I really wish we could just get rid of the stupid fountain, the baseball fields, the pompous conservatory, and the artificial aquarium.

Were you drinking Krap beer when you posted this? I'm seldom prevented from using the Island because of a ball game, or going deaf from the noise the fish and fountain make. It would be great if they poured a concrete road around the "internationally renowned" garden so, people could just drive their SUV to look @ it, no need to get out. Don't forget the selfie stick.
