I first met you when Laura from Garden Answer visited the island a couple of years ago. Someday I would like to visit in person as I’m sure the gardens must be breathtaking in person! Have a great day! 😊

    Thank you. The cottages and landscapes are so so serene and calming. I was disappointed when the grand flower show tours , lectures, and meet-ups were cancelled this year. I woke up to a brisk fall like day here in maryland and darted outside to start some early fall cleanup . I am inside taking a short break . So happy to see these tours. I have been so inspired by Laura (Garden Answer) , You, and Mackinac this year. One thing I did was mix pachysandra and sweet woodruff so they grow together. I always had them in separate beds but this year I decided to follow your lead and mix it up a bit. Thanks again for sharing the beautiful Island scenery with us.

    Thank you Jack for showing us what 2 beautiful homes and landscaping you and your crew have done is amazing. The first house is stunning with the big boulders and steps you created I can’t imagine how hard/difficult work that was let alone how much it cost, as with the addition of the house it’s so dreamy. You always put a smile on my face, wishing one day I can visit the island., and meet you. God Bless you. 🤗❤️🇺🇸👍👏

    Thanks for the tour. I loved the views and especially loved the porch view. I have always loved a great porch and the curvature of the porch , the furniture and of course the tiered view were very inspiring. I am 53 and have my first gardening job ever this year and I am always envious when I see your team at work. Makes me want to work for YOU every time!

    Thank you again Jack, for another wonderful tour of some of the stunningly beautiful cottages of Mackinaw Island!!! I look forward to the next ones! I get so much inspiration from your tours for my own garden, that I can hardly wait to get busy prepping for next spring. Visiting the Island has become a dream of mine, ever since watching your first video there. Maybe one day!

  • @helenanderson3616
    @helenanderson3616 3 года назад +3
