Jack I love your gift for landscape design! You are truly phenomenal. I first became acquainted with you because I have such a love of Mackinac Island. In the 50’s my parents took us to Mackinac every summer since my dad was great friends with the manager of the swimming pool at the Grand Hotel. I feel as though I grew up on the island and a part of my soul is still there. I grew up in Grand Blanc, Michigan but I married and raised my 5 children in a suburb of Grand Rapids, Michigan. All 5 of my children feel a great attachment to Mackinac Island too and they visit whenever they can afford it. Thank you for all that you do!

Lovely bro I brought some hromalids love them

I am from Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean

Hardly recognized him without the hat 😂

Another informative video showing some really beautiful plants that are eye catching. I really love Bromeliads.

Thank you Jack. I notice only few videos out there that show us anything about gardening in tropical climate. It really help me to envision what kind of plants/ flowers that I could use in my garden.

Jack, I am an Orchid lover. Your idea to just pop them into a grouping opened up a whole new world of design for me! Thank you for sharing your videos.

Om goodness... I almost skipped because I didn't see the hat! 😂😂😂

Lovely

Would never have thought you could plant Bromeliads In the ground ! That gives a great idea for my front entry. A great thing about tropical climates , you can stick anything in the ground and it will grow!

It’s fun to see plants I don’t get to enjoy in my Pacific Northwest garden!

So glad you enjoyed it!

Love the palm trees-and those pink poinsettias are amazing!!!!

Beautiful!

Wow….Some of mine are in similar rock ground cover, I spend wayyy too much care and time planting mine, LOL

So nice

Love this!

Awesome!! Beautiful

Fab, thanks Jack, I enjoyed.

I love it all!!!

Beautiful! Reminds me of California! Merry Christmas Jack! Hugs

Looks great.

Merry Christmas to all and a Very Happy Healthy New Year from Ohio.

I also love bromeliads! Found your channel b/c I'm looking for unique display ideas for my broms and I love the rock garden idea but giving them the space to be enjoyed individually rather than as a group bunched together. I have a unique display for my neoregelia 'fireball' bromeliads in 9B.. last year I mounted about 45 of them to a large tree trunk in my front yard from about 2'-7' up the trunk. They are pupping like crazy and slowly starting to fill in. These guys need plenty of sun to keep their beautiful red color (without enough sun they go green), and mine do get the sun to stay red. It's probably a bit too much work for a commercial company to install but it's ultra unique and I get a ton of compliments on it so wanted to share for others in warmer climates. Thanks for your good video and ideas!

Pretty planting design!

Hello Jack, Your knowledge of gardening is amazing... thanks for sharing 🌷 #1 fan from Pittsburgh Gene

So pretty

You have a brilliant idea of grouping your plants its amazing 👍

Just viewed this one also! Interesting to see what was going on in FL 6 months ago 🙂! Love your tropical plant choices. Now that I’m approaching my 70’s I think I’d be interested in spending some time after Christmas in a warmer climate. I do LOVE New England though, it IS the home of my soul since leaving Michigan so many years ago...

Jack, I just discovered you thru Laura at Garden Answer. Since, I’ve been binge watching you. Love your shows. I tried your Salmon recipe tonight. Just wanted you to know how delicious I thought it was!! Since our home is alcohol free (my 45 year old son overdosed on fentanyl last year, 3 Narcan shots later and 30 days in an Out of state rehab and he is currently helping other men in a local rehab) I used balsamic vinegar instead of Makers Mark. It was still good. I retired from Brown-Forman who makes Jack Daniels and Woodford Reserve(my personal choice) so I’m sure the bourbon would be good in the dish and in a drink. Keep up the excellent design and entertaining programs. Can’t wait to get my hands on some AquaPots when they’re back in stock. Wishing you and your family the very best.

Wow beautiful plants beautiful place

Gorgeous Jack and Chuy. That was my uncle’s nickname. I had always known him by Uncle Chuy and never knew his real name until after he died. Anyway - wish bromeliad survived here in zone 8.

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!😀😀😀😀

Bromeliades r one of my favorite. Tried growing them inside and always a no go. So many different videos, still can't keep them alive and have tried multiple ways to grow them. Just broke my heart to throw them away. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the tips Jack. Hope u and your family have a Happy New year.

Good Evening from MI!

Fun stuff! I just bought my first bromeliad a couple months ago. A pretty green and “white” but it kind looks green and lighter green 😁 not sure of the name but I just adore it 🤩🤩🤩 zone 9 here so I can’t wait for pups!

Planting one now

Merry Christmas! From Michigan!

Merry Christmas!

Love them, and I have similar weather, but I do get concerned whether they can breed mosquitos. We do have a big problem with them where I live. I've seen drops you can put in the vase but not sure how effective.

I would think these would be applicable to northern Florida, so I am anxious to try as a new Floridian , transplanted from upstate NY, waaaayyy different environment!!! Merry Xmas 🎄🎅🎄

😹😹. As Iam watching u plant those bromeliads, Iam saying ouch, ouch is he not getting all scratched up 😳😳😳. Happy holidays

Hey Jack!! So happy your in Florida for a few months . I just transplanted from Princeton, NJ area to Lakewood Ranch Florida and boy its now 1 year and I am still learning about Florida Landscaping!! LOL! I have a small villa and want to landscape out front with a Christmas Palm but trying to decide want to plant around it. I can use small shrubs and love blue, yellow, white and pink colors. Any suggestions for a low maintenance stately, neat look? We get full sun and the area is kinda kidney shaped about 7 ' by 8 '. Boy you have the best of both worlds!! Mackinac Island in summer and Naples Florida in winter!! LOL!! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!! :)

👍👌👍👌

Can you do a propigation video on these? Love your videos, so glad you can keep showing us your work even though Mackinac Island is snowed over.

Even though we Northerners can only grow them as houseplants this video has given me ideas on how to combine like plants in a larger pot so I don’t have so many individual plants in the house that look kind of ‘messy’. Thanks Jack. 87 days until spring ! 🇨🇦

Beautiful!!! I just started collecting bromeliads but Im apprehensive planting them outside because winter is coming up. Can they survive Florida's below freezing temperatures? 🤔

A Caribbean Mystery, where's Miss Marple though?

Beautiful especially the huge Aqua Pots love all the plant in it. I have 2 not that big and the drain hole is plugged and stained on the outside from my hard water how do I clean it?

Very easy~ pumie stick does an amazing job on hard water stains~~

How do you weed control for the rocks? What fabric under the rocks?

Is it true bromeliads get water from the top?

Hello from Barbados (the actual island). I am landscaping around my house, looking for ideas.

i like

Can Bromeliads be planted in full sun? Sub tropical locations which is very dry and windy ? Would they need to be under a tree? How often would they need watering? Our climate is never under 15c in winter and very dry.. close to ocean , about 1k away. Can you also suggest any other eye catching plants ? I did think about the poinsettia plant but worried its needs shade and constant watering

Acalapha, come in several colors.

Where did you get your shirt? Is it company or one you bought yourself?

I thought bromeliads don’t do well in soil?

So does Jack Snowbird or something????

He has a landscaping business in Florida that he goes to during the winter months.

The only thing I dislike about them is how they're a great habitat for mosquitoes 😅

may i recommend??? you put less number of plants// if only you put lots of tropical plants, the out come would be much more beautiful.

I am not inspired by the design

Jack has hair!!! 😂
