  • After we toured Boardwalk Cottage in the Spring it was highly requested that we show her off in full Summer glory. Be sure to leave a comment down below to tell us what you think we should add next to the Columnar Beech!

    Absolutely beautiful! My dream is to visit the island and see all the gardens and cottages in your video. Thanks for sharing, Jack!

      Go in summer to see the gardens. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

    A water fountain would be beautiful in the that spot, either free standing or a wall mount . Thank you for sharing Jack, your memories are as wonderful as the garden 😊

    Granny’s home is absolutely stunning! What a beautiful home and location! I’m loving her property. I can see why it’s photographed often.

    Lovely tour of one of my favorite properties on the island. I love the gaura in the containers.

    • @lizat1664
      @lizat1664 Před 4 lety +1

      I was wondering if that was gaura! Thanks Erin. Now I know.😀

    @Shellplumb Před 4 lety +10

    A purple smoke bush would be a nice pop of color amongst all the green. I enjoy all the beautiful things you show us, but I'd love it if you show us maintenance (not always the most fun) as well. Inevitably, we all have to do it.

  • @bigskiesmontana7267
    @bigskiesmontana7267 Před 4 lety +8

    Lovely tour and and a stunningly beautiful home. I imagined coffee in the morning on that deck, sunning in the afternoon on that deck, and drinking a glass of wine in the evening on that deck and realized I could just live on that deck. Priceless memories I'm sure of time spent there growing up. I think you need a tree or bush with a different texture and darker foliage than the fronting hydrangeas. Maybe a black lace elderberry or a Japanese Lace maple? Cheers

  • @dianeosgood6594
    @dianeosgood6594 Před 4 lety +9

    In the corner a limelight hydrangea would be beautiful. Gorgeous property.

    @ayina111 Před 4 lety +13

    I really really enjoy this tour. Your grandma house is beautiful. It just like out of fairytale book. Of course it is you and your team hardwork that make this happen. And I love how you show us how it look when back in May. Wow just wow.

  • @derrongoodengardenandlifes8655

    That hydrangea does create a very dramatic entrance. Great tour of an amazing garden.😊😊🇨🇦

  • @cherigreen4471
    @cherigreen4471 Před 4 lety +2

    I love the moon gate with the climbing hydrangea! Just a beautiful place! How about a spice viburnum or a dogwood. Thanks for sharing your grandmother's garden and views. Loved when you said your grandma was the sweetest woman in the world!

  • @MaryHNoe
    @MaryHNoe Před 4 lety +4

    Wow! I'm so glad you returned to show us your grandmother's lake house in the summer when everything has filled in. It is stunning! I hope to walk by when Proven Winners renews its Grand Garden Show in 2021. Would love to meet your grandma in the next video. I think a limelight hydrangea or quick fire hydrangea would do well next to the house when you clean out that tree in the front. Either one would lighten up that area and the blooms would be a nice contrast against the house.

  • @janetherron5843

    Thanks Jack for the tour of your Granny’s home… BEAUTIFUL❣️ Look forward to seeing Granny’s house on our visit the Island… what if you put one of your self watering planters with an obelisks in it and maybe a sonic bloom wegeilia as always thx for taking us along on your journey through your landscaping design journey… Feel So blessed to be along on the ride.

  • @brianandkimwolverton7348

    What an incredibly special heritage you have! Thank you for sharing! Found your videos a few days ago & just keep watching as it's such a special place to me. I grew up in Michigan, visiting Mackinac Island, & always admired your grandmother's home with the beautiful cedar shake siding (right next to library I think)! So special to get to see the front of this beautiful house! Years ago I also worked at Mission Point Resort in Convention Services. When I come home from Colorado in the summer we visit & stay on the island. Fun now to know who makes these beautiful gardens a reality! All the best in the 2021 season!

  • @ddthompsy4760

    One of the most beautiful locations,garden and homes I’ve ever saw! 😍😍my vote is some sort of weeping interest like maybe a weeping cherry tree ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing this gorgeous place with us hopefully we will get to see a fall tour as well 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽❤️❤️❤️

  • @katies.5945
    @katies.5945 Před 3 lety

    Gorgeous place. Thanks for the tour Jack. You could put Sun King Aralia or something with purple foliage in the spot at the end of the video. A nice pop of darker foliage would be really pretty. Purple smoke bush, tuxedo weigela, or if it gets enough sun a black lace elderberry.

  • @janetomich789
    @janetomich789 Před 2 lety

    Thank you, Jack for that beautiful summer tour. I've seen many of your tours with Laura from Garden Answer, that's how I came here. I remember your May tour and thinking that I can't wait to see the garden in its summer bloom. Thanks for showing the May photos alongside. Interesting that the water has so quickly come up to the edge of the garden. Your face lights up when you talk about your granny, and especially when you recount the story of her lining up to wait to enter her own home so that wedding couples can take photos outside the climbing hydrangea. Just magical. Would love to see a tour inside her house. Thanks again.

  • @reclaimedtreasures5749

    Wonderful to see a seasonal update on your granny's cottage! Seems like an absolute privilege to get to pass down the legacy of working on a loved one's private garden space. I agree with the idea that a red or purple foliage would pop there. I also think ferny textured leaves with dark stems would look good, or possibly an old fashioned climbing rose that could tolerate shade. Thanks for the peek into Granny's beautiful space!

  • @snickersgs710
    @snickersgs710 Před 4 lety

    Thank you for the tour of you grandmas garden. It is gorgeous! I learn so much from each of your videos too. Wish I could sit on your grandmas porch for awhile and talk with her- that would be so much fun. As for that hole that you are thinking of filling - it could use a Red Japanese maple or something with a pop of color might be an idea too. Best wishes from Midland, MI.
