This looks like such a magical trip! I'm excited for your whole family to be able to make this trip and you even share with us! The beautiful colors and textures! The huge topiary of the horses and carriage were spectacular! And that dreamy secret garden, ohh!
the word of the day is HUGE and well deserved to be. These gardens are magnificent and there is so much and so many beautiful flora. Proven Winners definitely chose the right place for their show. Thank you so much for taking us with you. This place is now high on my bucket list
Thank you Jenny and jerry one can tell that you're having a good time at Mackinac Island and so am I via your videos. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place. Thanks for pointing out the plants and their names as you go along.
Jenny and Jerry, what an unbelievably beautiful place, one day I hope I'll be able to visit there. Jenny, did your wonderful momma and daddy go with you guys on this trip, or have they been to Mackinac Island before? Just seeing the huge grins on your faces made me wish I was there also! I loved watching this video. ~Margie😊💐🦋🐴
My husband and I were so thrilled to meet you and Jerry in person at the Nursery this weekend! What a treat for our 2nd anniversary weekend! We love our US "Sassy Frog" as well as a few beautiful perennials we picked up. You guys are our favs! Love from your Santee friends! ❤️
Beautiful! After the dry and hot summer and the struggle to keep things alive I had decided to stop trying. After seeing all the beauty I’m thinking about next years plantings. Thanks Jenny and Jerry for the tour!!!!
Jenny, thanks for sharing videos from your trip to Mackinac. You always look so cute in your outfits. I love the way you are always appropriately dressed, weather you are digging in the garden, or dressed up for a special occasion.
I had no idea that Mackinac Island was so breathtakingly beautiful! Wish I had visited during my traveling years. But now at least I get to see some of that beauty watching your videos. Thanks.
Jenny, One of my fav romance movies of all time, "Somewhere in Time" w/ the late Christopher Reeve & Jane Seymour, was filmed @ The Grand Hotel! It's a MUST WATCH!!! ❤
Hi Jenny 🌺what abeautiful plants and flowers in mackinac Island It's amazing and fantastic land escape Have awonderful time you and your family and enjoy your trip🦋🌻
Unfortunately, most people can’t afford to stay at the Grand Hotel unless you can get some special discounts. I used to visit the Island every summer back in the 50’s and 60’s because my father was friends with the manager of the Grand Hotel pool. He would arrange for lodging at one of the special B&B’s for our family. I love the Island, the gardens, horses and atmosphere! A very special place.
As a Michigan resident my family visited the island 45 years ago. I’m glad Jenny you took us on a tour, the older I get I realize I’m a home body and don’t like traveling.
The most unique vacation my husband and I have taken! Really enjoyed every bit of the island, and of course the Grand Garden Show was just that- GRAND! Mackinaw island is checked off the bucket list! You gave a great tour on this video! Almost did the beauty justice - only better view is in person!
OK!!! now that's a garden tour. You guys know how to do it right. After watching your tour I have decided to use more annuals next year. The color seems to make a garden stretch out the season. thank you Jenny and Jerry!!!!!
@@oxwoman8ooh nooo what a terrible job but I’m sure those who ate all that horseradish with theirPrime rib or Shrimp Cocktail appreciated beyond words... I love horseradish myself!
My husband and I were there about 10 years ago! I would love to go back but my husband says no way would I get him back on the ferry to cross the lake again! It is such a magical island!
What a beautiful tour and Jenny you are do a magnificent job of letting us know all the names of everything! The horse and carriage were awesome and geraniums are one of my favorite flowers!
Jenny thank you lucky girl your family are so lucky to go and enjoy these beautiful gardens thank you again 🤩Karen from port Macquarie NSW Australia 🦇🦘🐨🐳🌊🇦🇺
What a fabulous trip for you and the family ... you must be in heaven, surrounded by all that beautiful flora - each little turn along the path revealing another breathtaking space. So happy you are getting to experience Mackinac and even happier you are sharing it all with us !!! thanks ever so much ...
Jenny you just have a welcoming way to carry and hold the Best conversations with Everyone your with! Mr.Jack Barnwell and you were so entertaining to watch together! “Chomping at the bit”.. and you right on que-“badata!!” almost had me spitting my coffee out! Best video interview done on Mackinac Island hands down!! Great job Jenny and Jerry✨🤍🥰
Thanks for sharing. So magical that I thought I was really there. Love Mr Jack! He looks like so much fun to be around. Gorgeous place. Did you all stay at the hotel? Glad you all got to have a great family vacation. I bet your Mom was in 7th Heaven being there.
Jenny I love the tour but I also think we could make this video into a drinking game. A shot for every time you say Huge/Gorgeous or both 😆😆😆 But I honestly love your enthusiasm and I could feel how excited you are xxx
So funny!every time I watch Jenny I say, “next time I’m getting pen and paper to keep total of all the Gorgeous…just fantastic😂😂 she is just too cute with her excitement (I’m sort of like that when talking about plants and quilting)🌻🌻(KH)
I live in Michigan. I’ve only been to Mackinac twice in my life. Laura from Garden Answers was there too. Did you run into each other? I hope you enjoyed our great state of Michigan!
loved the tour guys. really enjoyed seeing so much beauty. I am looking forward to your tour with jack Barnwell. Thanks for sharing. I know you gys are having great time
Thank you for your fun tour! It was reassuring to see how many plants were going to be placed just for the show, because it reminds me that regular gardens don’t grow quite so perfectly.
So glad u guys got to visit it as a family. The beauty is spectacular. Thanks I have been there once a while ago. I’m going to try to go to the next garden show
I lived in southern Michigan for over 10 years. Summer in Michigan is beautiful! Of course, southern Michigan is warmer, but flowers are still gorgeous! Glad you all enjoyed your time. I bet your mom enjoyed all the gardens.
Loved your tour and was wondering why they don’t have more of the blue hydrangeas!??? On the northeast coast they are everywhere! Perhaps it’s the salty air? Such gorgeous gardens of color, and especially loved the secret garden! I’ve moved off the coast and have landed in NH- my first summer into fall & winter- big observation and note taking for sure!!! Of course I planted tons of perennials for next year- my take away from this tour is the grasses popping out amongst the flowers- surprisingly I loved them! Thank you! Cindy B-
Jack said in another video the winters are very harsh. They're a zone 4 or 5. I'm in Minneapolis and can attest to the harsh winters wreaking havoc on plants that are borderline. I planted, my 2nd round, of blue hydrangea (Bloomstruck) and fingers crossed they make it next year.
So so love this tour!!!! I know this is crazy question but can you reply to me what type shoes you have on in this video I have been so searching for just this type!!!! And where did you purchase!!!??thanks so much Jenny ... judy from Pensacola Fl
These are a pair of On tennis shoes. So incredibly comfortable!!!! I just ordered them online directly from them. www.on-running.com/en-us/explore/womens/shoes
Jenny, How do they keep the Cosmos so short? Is it the variety? Mine reach 5’ and taller but I would prefer they be shorter. Can they be cut back? One variety I tried this year is 7’ and taller. It’s stalk is like the diameter of a corn stalk and hollow. I don’t think that would cut back well. I definitely will not be reaching for that seed packet next year!
Jenny, The Grand Hotel is HUUUGE! Everything @ The Grand Hotel is HUUUGE! If I had dollar for every time you said "HUUUGE.," I'd have a HUUUGE number of dollars, lol! 😉😉😉 It' s ok--put a HUUUGE smile on my face! 😃
