    @donnakaymiller2532 Před 3 lety +1

    I think Hollyhock is my favorite one! This shows so much creativity. I love all the places around the home to sit and read a book. There are beautiful, serene nooks everywhere. The waterfalls you have been showing this year have been inspiring too.

    Hi Jack!! Absolutely stunning!! Your style of landscaping is the most beautiful I have ever seen!! I’m in awe of your talent!! Such a pleasure to visit the island through your garden tours! 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 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. 🤗❤️🇺🇸👍👏

    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!

    @MarianneRuffhaven Před 3 lety +20

    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.

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!
