- Wow, we did it! Another year of fall clean up and winterization are in the books. It takes a lot of teamwork and effort to prepare the island gardens for winter! Now that we have all of the beds prepped, I can already see the spring blooms popping!

Although I understand the rationale for pulling out those beautiful annuals and cutting those hydrangeas, it was still ‘painful’ to watch ! What teamwork and beautiful videography with those drone shots ! ❤️🇨🇦
You have a talent for making work in all the gardens fun and giving the end result naturalized beauty to Mackinac Island.
I love your statement … the garden is a beautiful teacher teacher. I understand what you mean. We get so much in as a person . I have a small manicured garden . I get so
Much joy and peace in a ring for my topiaries. Jose from Melbourne Australia.
Crossroads Cottage by far is my favorite cottage....its my dream house all the way down to the color....I would never be able to own a house like Crossroads but I pray that if we have houses in heaven mine looks like this beauty. Jack never under estimate the power and endurance of a woman 💪 😃 🙂 😊 God bless you and your wonderful hardworking team.
Hi Catherine how are you doing?
Good Morning Jack. Beautiful country!! It's awesome you're going to spend time with your family!! Thank you for sharing your expertise-- I love your channel!! Your awesome!!🇺🇸💖
Always so much fun to watch you!! I learn so much and enjoy your great personality! Its fun to see a master doing what he loves to do! 🍃🍁🧡😊
Thanks!!
As boaters we look up from the harbor at The island House, Brigadoon and these gardens are always stunning.
The “cottages” and the spectacular gardens are two of the things I love the most about MI. I am so happy to have found you, Jack, and watch each video you create with awe. It always takes me back to a place we love, Magical Mackinac.
This fall clean up video at Island House, and your prior ones at Brigadoon, has me very much looking forward to springtime to witness the tulips, crocus, hydrangea and ALL your beautiful garden glory.
See you in the Spring 🌸 🌺
I'd love to see a video of this garden in the spring.
This was fun to watch. You are always smiling even when you are working hard. You can tell that you are using all your God given talents. I look forward to seeing what you plant up in Florida now. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Girl power! What a great team you have Jack!
Hi Kathy how are you doing?
Thank you for educating us about cutting back the Annabelle’s in fall. That’s a real spring saver for me here in Idaho.
I can’t make myself sit down & watch tv but always take time for your posts & videos! Fun, informative & inspiring! Thank you Jack & crew!
This was so fun. Thank you for taking us along on the winterization process. It is so interesting to get to see behind the scenes.
Hi Stephanie how are you doing?
Thank you so much for all your videos, I love seeing seasons change on the island and on top of that I always learn something new from watching your videos.
So sad to see all those beautiful flowers get pulled up but planting bulbs for spring will be amazing to see. Good job Jack.
Great video! Loved the format and the teaching moments! Great touch with the drone footage.
Absolutely loved this video and I chuckled a few times, watching you having fun while working!!!! 😊
Jack, you seem like so much fun to work with, super enthusiastic ❤️
Wow it takes a lot of work to keep it looking so gorgeous. You have a wonderful team Jack.
Wow!!! You guys are awesome.Great job.
Totally diggin this style of video!
Gorgeous, Jack! Thanks for the amazing video. Love the island and will be at the Island House in June. Can't wait to see the gardens.
Cheers!
Beautiful backdrop to inspire, educate & motivate us to get it all done this fall! Thanks!
you are the icing on the cake for what Victor and his family does. great job as always.
It's a way of life.....and a garden is a wonderful teacher. Just perfect. 👌
Love Mackinac Island, can't wait till spring to do it again! Enjoy winter Jack!
I always find it hard to pull out my summer annuals, but once I get the first one out I'm like a wrecking machine - just as your team is !!! It's really quite satisfying and what gardening is all about - planning & hoping for the next season. And YES the auger - a game changer for sure !!!! Thanks for sharing your day with us - you are an inspiration for sure !!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge of caring and keeping these gorgeous gardens. I have always marveled at the beautiful gardens when visiting Mackinac Island. Truly MAGICAL!
I wish I had your energy
Great job!
Nice filming and very interesting. It's incredible the amount of work that goes into making gardens beautiful. Thanks for the tips and taking us along for the ride!! It looks like such a fun job. If I lived anywhere near you, I'd be applying! Also great to hear it was a busy summer at Mackinac - I was wondering.
For a while there I thought the first lady would have asked you to stop talking and start working as she was pulling up flowers 🌷:) ! But teamwork makes it all happen!
Good job and lots of fun and so beautiful!
Awesome video Jack.. Love all the behind the scenes..Your team rocks! God bless you all..Jesus is the reason we sing! He is the reason we breath, move, and have our being.
Great fun as usual Jack and team! Thanks for sharing with us couch potatoes!
Thank You Jack for your videos. My Husband And I don’t get to the island now we are both in our 80’s. We used to come every year sometimes twice. Ride our bikes around the whole island. Stayed over nite a couple times. So watching your videos brings it all again. You are so entertaining.and a hard worker.So keep doing what you do best.

I just joined your channel... I am so excited...
I am going to move up there and help you and your team...what a joy to watch! I can stand on a shovel like that for a long while...lol.
Thank you for the Fall Clean Up video; it was the prompt I needed to get the backyard in shape. Also, thanks for the Hydrangea-dividing tip, I will give that a try.
Have you ever done a Flordia/zone 10/Bulb-Planting-Video? Would love to view that video.

Love seeing this video of fall cleanup - Michigan was blessed this year with gorgeous colors, blooms, seeds and pods and so late into November. The gardens on Mackinac Island look like they could go on and on - a testament on how well you take care of them!!
I saw the inside of my salvia the other day! Thought I was hallucinating the color. I just cut mine down to the ground and will hope for a mild winter in my area. If I am lucky, they will come back next year free of charge :)
It’s so fun to watch u work.
How many houses on the island? Are people buying land and building new homes or no land for sale? Awesome video watching the cleaning and the girls helping with the tulip bulbs. Thanks Jack for bringing us along on your project Where is that freighter going ? 👏👏👏
He has mentioned it before it is government owned island The people living in the houses have a 99 year lease but you can’t own the property and can’t ad anything to the yard or house without permits
🙇👍🦃 ... LOL! Enjoyed every moment! Wishing you & the crew happy holidays & a restful winter season! ☃️❄🥰
Enjoyable and fun! Thank you!
I loved it.
Really loved this. Helps me understand what I should or could do in fall in my own yard
Fun to watch video of people having fun on the job. Great working conditions though it's always hard to see those gorgeous annuals go. Every year I vow to get that chore done early but just can't force myself to pull the annuals till they are a sorry mess. I want to enjoy them as long as possible before our winter blanket covers everything.
Gardening - "It's a beautiful thing!" My sisters and I are planning a Mackinac trip next year so I will see it all in person although I do love your videos.
Love the drone shots! Ah will miss Jack on the Island.
Fun to watch. Team building, yeah.
I stayed at Island House this summer! I'm excited to see the reno results... esp the hallways. I loved that green shed out back. Sadly the restaurant was closed, I was hoping for BBQ ;) Maybe next summer we will be back
Wow that’s a lot!!!
I feel like I must do the same thing due to my abilities trying to win the race against winter. Every year I spend all winter upset at what I could not finish before the cold hits. I have to start sooner!
I for one understand what you are saying, because I do the same here in Ohio. Great job!!
I always attempt to get ahead of frost kill as those plants are awful to pull out. Don't like mushy plants. Keep up great work and thanks for sharing the fall clean up as I am doing that here in Missouri also,
jack working with the ladies gets very 'flirty'-!!!!
Beautiful job! Hate to see all those plastic bags being used though 🥺
Oh no! I see motor vehicles. 😳
Hi Cheryl how are you doing?
Girl Power!!
Thanks for the tip about dividing the hydrangeas. Could you do it in the spring as well?
You can, early spring….
💚💝JEHOVAH YHWH BLESS YOU BROTHER JACK, SISTER KAREN, REED, RIVER, BROTHER EMMMERY, RACHEL, GRAND MOMA, AND FAMILY ALWAYS 💚💝THANKS!!💚💝LOYAL LOVE FOREVER.
Use a bigger auger so you can drop in 3+ bulbs per hole, the 1 at a time thing is old school!
Hi Linda how are you doing?
I’m in SC. Charleston would greatly benefit from your expertise.
Thanks for the wonderful videos!! I have two questions though. When you put down your mulch mixture, do you put the irrigation on top of it or under the mulch mixture? Lastly what do you use to get the path lighting wiring under your steps? Thanks a bunch.
We put irrigation underneath~
And we usually run wire in conduit beforehand-
Looking forward to see what it looks like in the spring. You do awesome work. I know it will be BEAUTIFUL.
I had no clue that you could take a hedge trimmer to hydrangea bushes. I'll try that this week to my hydrangea.
Only on ones that bloom on new wood !!
If you cut the wrong type back like that you’ll have no flowers next year !!!!!
Do birds/butterflies have other food when all is cut back or completely pulled?
Hi Kay how are you doing?
So interesting. If you could only visit Mackinac Island one time.. what time of year would you go?
That’s a tough one! I’ve been there Spring, Summer and Autumn. All the seasons have their benefits. Spring is great because you see everything beginning to wake up, including the Islanders 😉. Also, pre-tourists it’s not crazy crowded and seems more like real-life. Summer is stunning and there’s a lot of fun to be had. Autumn is very well done on the island. Lots of beauty and a fun last chance sort of vibe. Far fewer people, lots of sales in the stores getting ready to shut down, and the Islanders come out and mingle with the visitors. The Island House has fantastic decoration on the outside. You’ve got to see that! 🕸🕷
It’s a shame you guys don’t have any fun while working like heck! LOL
Jack, do you cut the hydrangea paniculatas down to the ground as well? I have a row of Vanilla Strawberry hydrangeas along the North side of our home. They bloom beautifully every year, but I was wondering if I should cut them down come Fall 2022? Please share your garden wisdom and expertise! 🙂
With paniculata- we do cut them back pretty hard, but not to the ground no… we cut them back just a few inches below the last years cuts….
I’d work with you and your team ! Great energy hard work but you work right along with them ? It looks that way!
Do you have drip irrigation systems in place?
What’s that truck doing there?
In the off season, with special permits, the BIG heavy duty work can be done…
Will the bar and pizza oven be open to non guests, say someone wants to have a libation and pie while day tripping to Mackinac Island?
It sure will!!!
How do you keep rabbits eating all the plants coming up?
Why aren’t your Annabelles flopping? Maybe annuals in front are holding them up?.
Perennial and annual “hug” … yes
Hi Jack, when is fall clean up time? November???
On the island, it starts in late September and goes through October~~ into early November~ depending on the property and if the clients have left for the season yet etc etc….
How often ate beds replaced?
Are.
All annual flower planting areas are replaced every year- many have to be cleared and turned over in fall for the planting of bulbs like tulips and daffodils for a nice spring show!
YAY woman power..
💚💝THANKS!! 💚💝ISLAND HOUSE HOTEL 💚💝ALAN SEHOYAN, AND HANNA BANANA 💚💝
Amazing to watch but hard to watch all the plants being pulled.
Could you please send me just one of your talented/knowledgeable employees to help me in my garden?? I live in Michigan, does that help??
Send 2, I'm in Michigan also.
I just saw a Ram truck, what?
Curious that you are using plastic bags to haul away stuff to recycle? Why not large bags made out of twin sheets that can be used multiple times from job to job???
Everything is still growing beautifully, why rip them out!?!Wait till they die.
so sad
Do not like this music. ,!
Hi Rita how are you doing?
