Between the fig story, the Disney Princess soundtrack and the comment “And everybody knows that females are the rulers of the Earth”, this episode had me rolling in laughter and completely charmed. 😂❤tx

WOW.....just WOW!!! Putting Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden on my bucket list. Thank you for the tour!

Jack, thank you for sharing this beautiful garden. The glass installation pics. at the end look like the work of Dale Chihuly, can’t wait for more.

Great tour, Jack! Thank you!

Always love seeing tropical plants. Thanks for the tour of interesting plants.

Fairchild is other worldly; truly a magical place. Once you see it, you’ll never forget it.

Who knew? That fig tree was amazing. What a wonderful place, love to see it first hand. Thanks so much for showing such an awesome place.

Beautiful gardens……a must see!!!

That place is totally unbelievable . I can't get over it. Great tour. Thank you Jacl

Wonderful, Jack!!!! Too short. Want to see more. Definitely impressive!!!! How fortunate to have experienced ❤ Thank you! Nice to see they also feature Chihuly's works! 🥰

Really awesome video tour of the lush gardens! Really good examples of plant life that do well in our zones. Stunning!

My favorite spot was the Lilly pond beneath the bridge. The huge trees are amazing. The lower trunk of the pony tail tree looks like an elephants foot😀. Thank you for sharing this beauty🌳

Fantabulous again. Your descriptions never fail to bring on the smiles. Fairchild gardens are beautiful.

Wow! Such an amazing place. Thank you Jack.

Great job! Thank you so much!

That place is soo amazing!! Thank you for taking us there! 😊

Thanks for the tour.

UNBELIEVABLE❣️ THANK YOU for sharing. Have a great day to you and yours!

Wonderful video thanks for sharing this beautiful arboretum!!!!

Thanks for taking us along - just beautiful

Thanks Jack for this tour. I didn't realize that trees could get so big in Florida; I've never seen a Pony-Tail Palm so huge. We're going to make a special trip to this beautiful place. I think it's only 1-1/2 hours from us. Thanks again.

Wow Jack, soo beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!

Thank you for the beautiful tour that Ponytail palm is unbelievable. I was able to see The Chihuly Exhibit at The New York Botanical Gardens a few years ago, his work goes so well in gardens. That was my dream😀

Many in my family live in Ft. Meyers. Thanks for this awesome video.

Thanks for the tour! Gorgeous gardens!

I guess I don’t want to eat figs anymore🤮❄️💚🙃

I've never tried one but I know now I don't want to. Did you see Jack throw that fig? He wasn't going to eat it either LOL

I love ❤️ figs!!!

Your boys would love it

Watching from Michigan, thank you so much for the tour it was gorgeous. By the way it’s 22 degrees, windy and snowing 🫤

Jack...A suggestion for you that when your boys reach the age of 7, 8, or 9 you let them experience living through Fall, winter, Spring, and the beautiful Summers in Northern Michigan for a rememberable lifetime of memories!!!

That was so cool to see. What an amazing place. Thank goodness for those travellers who set off and brought back all kinds of goodies! Thanks for sharing another great video. 🙂

What a beautiful space thanks for the tour it was amazing❣️

The fig story is fascinating!!

Thank you Loved this You are a natural teacher through your volgs Loved your sharing of up north Michigan Looking forward of where you take us now

Beautiful tour. It looks amazing.

I really enjoyed watching your explorations of the botanical world in South Florida. Learned a lot from the videos. You're such a tree-huger. :-)

WOW! So cool...did not know about the symbiotic relationship between figs and wasps, thank you Jack for sharing!!

It looks MAGNIFICENT!!! I wish I would have known about it before I moved from Central Florida! But I think I will probably not eat figs again!😳

Wow 🌴😍beautiful tropical garden 🌱👌🤗

🌿🍃🌱 Fantastic! 🌿☘️🍃

Alright Jack, I told you before you are an amazing teacher. I love it when you show us awesome gardens and your amazing designs but..... I still will never eat a fig. Just no. LOL (PS I saw you throw that fig on the ground by the way!)

Watching from Delaware.

Beautiful Botanical Garden! Have fun exploring!

Interesting info of the Cluster Fig, makes me a little reluctant about opening figs, but perhaps that is just with that variety. Love figs. This was a beautiful video❤

It's nice to see such a beautiful place. The tropical rainforest is interesting but there is another rainforest in the lower 48: Washington state has the Hoh rainforest in Olympic National Park. It is a temperate rainforest & quite beautiful.

Oh my gosh! I'm amazed and my mind is whirling, like if I add misters can I actually grow fern, in Reno Nevada, which I'm used to coming from Nova Scotia canada? And many more? Oh gosh what an gorgeous tour! Thank you so much#

Fantastical and splendid!

Thanks so much! Makes me want to plan a trip there!!!!!

Awesome 👌

Really cool tour

Nothing compares to El Yunque National Rainforest in Puerto Rico. The only Tropical Rainforest in the US, all natural and awesome. But this imitation of a Tropical Rainforest is cool.

Super Cool video! PLEASE tell me that cluster fig tree's figs are not edible by humans. Fascinating!

Thanks Jack!

Jack in St Petersburg, florida (near Tampa) there is a botanical garden called "Sunken Garden" = very old beautiful tropical garden as well, near the down down area.

Great to know! I’ll check it out!!

You need to watch the documentary “The Queen of Trees”, think it was a Nature doc, it’s extremely detailed in how this odd relationship works. Loved it.

💚😍💚

😊

Come visit Naples botanical sometime. Great video 🙂

I go there often, and did a whole series of videos on it during the pandemic~~ check em out!

What type of tree was that with the colored bark? Beautiful. Thank you for the tour!

Talking about the fig thing….isn’t the supreme being… I call him God, (you label with what’s comfortable)…..AMAZING!

Jack, do you know the age of the ponytail tree? That is wild 🌴

Your telling of the wasp/fig story is hilarious.

I can’t see a fig tree without thinking about it!! Now, not every fig is pollinated in this way, but, it is certainly a fascinating relationship!

Nice

Sorry to correct you, but there is a natural rainforest in Washington State, Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park. Come visit sometime!

Jake. Your fig story is frightening. Now I am worried about eating figs. My favourite fruit :(

I’ll never eat another fig!😊😊😊❤

Not all figs

I thought those trees with colored bark were photoshopped. Aren’t plants amazing?
