I was a waitress at the Iroquois in 1963 and always respected your grandmother, Mrs. McIntyre and your granddad. Mr. Mac. What a wonderful summer of memories !

Jack, let your Grandma know how much we all appreciate the tour of her gardens. It would be great to hear her story of the home and gardens sometime on one of your tours.

I’m waiting 🙏🙏

My condolences,. 🙏 Mrs. Mac was a true Island Gem💐✨️

Thank you so very much. We have walked by this lovely home many times and so admired it. Your knowledge and love of Grandma's home is special.

✨Glad I’m not the only one who talks to my plants 🪴✨.

Man I am LOVING Grandma's style....WOW!!

Hi, Jack. I worked as a maid at The Iroquois the summer of 1981, so I knew your grandma back in the day! Boy, did I carry a lot of baskets of linens from the basement laundry to the rooms above. Wish I was still in shape like that! I always admired Mrs. Mac’s savvy business sense. She, Mr. Mac & the staff created a magical escape for so many guests. And, it was a super fun summer for me, too! Thanks for the tour!

I am absolutely shocked and amazed how many people here commented on the dead heading geraniums! I have always done it the way that Jack described. I took for granted that everyone knew how to dead head a geranium correctly! I’m pleased that so many know now! 🤗

I love watching you caress the plants. Your grandmother must be so proud of you, Jack! It’s such a pleasure to see you at work and to enjoy your smile❤️🌺🥰

Mackinac Island is on my travel bucket list . Grandmas garden is a garden gate magazine cover ❤it is beautiful

Oh my gosh Jack! Stunningly beautiful home! Your grandma is very lucky to have such a passionate person taking care of her landscape!

Wow Jack! Your Grandma’s house is simply stunning. Have you ever done a video on the history of her house? I would love to see more of her place. I’m loving the tours you are doing. Great job and great place. 💕☀️🪴🦋🐝

Just last week I was on Mackinac Island and walked by your Grammas house Jack. I stopped at the gate to admire the garden and had to know what was growing on the beautiful arbor. I entered the court yard and rung the door bell and this beautiful, gracious lady came to the door and ansewered my question. Little did I know that I would be watching this on you tube when I got home. Thank You So Much For This. I am a gardener too so I really appreciate this. Judy

New subscriber here. Beautiful gardens but the best part is that you can continually speak and explain, without much dead air or repetition

The architecture & natural finish on your grandma's home are s o beautiful! Tip on geranium dead-heading was so helpful. Look forward to seeing the difference it makes for mine!

The most beautiful house on the island!!!!!

just took a picture in front of your grandmas doorway yesterday, beautiful garden!

Your Grandma must really be proud of you. All the beautiful gardens that her grandson creates on the island. Your her prided and joy.

Oh, Jack , I just love how you seem to dance up and down the tree! Each of your movements in the garden are purposeful and flowing! I love the observation of the bee “drunk “on peonie!

Very random as KZread reconnected this out of the blue, but I’ve been to Mackinac once with my wife who is from Michigan. Your grandmother’s house was definitely my favorite of what I saw on the island and I took a bunch of photos of it

I had worked on the islans years ago. I loved walking by this house and seeing that gate

I never knew about the proper way to deadhead a geranium!

I talk to the plants in my little garden all the time! I sometimes wonder if my neighbors are chuckling to themselves-really matters not to me, lol!

I was expecting a little gramma cottage. WOW! What a great place to grow up and hang out with your grandparents!

That is paradise.

I peeked over the wall while on the island once I realized where I was. It is even more stunning to be there. The climbing hydrangea is gorgeous. Thanks to you and Grandma for sharing.

Your Grandma’s place is my favourite, absolutely stunning - the house, plants and landscaping provide such a serene setting ! Jack, I have followed a few of your suggestions with respect to your favourite ground-covers. I also learned today I’ve been pruning my geraniums incorrectly over all these years!Coincidently I bought myself a small Japanese maple this spring, so now I know how to coordinate it with other surrounding plants when I move it to the garden this fall ! Thank you and your Grandma for sharing with us all! 🌸💐🇨🇦

Plant after Mothers day, in Michigan...🌼🌼🐝🌱❤🌻

So glad I found you!!

Very nice tour! Thanks 😊

I'm so in awe of all your work! As a Christian, I truly appreciate nature and God's creation, and you have a gift for putting together such stunning gardens and landscaping features! Thank you!

Stunning property and stunning Island! and those Peonies!!!🥰

Love this tour! And I love how you said to get in the plants and talk to them. I agree!!! So good for them!!

Fantastic tutorial for pruning and maintaing the crabapple espalier!

You're grandmother has one of the most gorgeous backyard l have seen. Amazing! I'm in South texas , alot of succulents and cactus , yuccas and palms

What a beautiful property by the beach. Love your presentation of this video. Thank you . Jose from Melbourne Australia

Wow just stunning. So glad I found you via Laura at Garden Answer and Jenny at Creekside. You are a true artist and such a passionate landscaper/gardener. You can tell you love what you do. Thanks for sharing your Grandmother’s amazing house. Would love to know more about it.

Beautiful garden! That gorgeous house is so close the the water! 😳 I’d love to see he inside of that amazing home, the glimmering windows leave so much to my imagination!

Thank you for showing us so many gorgeous areas of Mackinac. Your Grandmother's house and gardens are stunning.

Will differently put the island on my list of places to visit. Your love for the island is so obvious. Thank you for the tour of your grandmother's lovely garden

What a beautiful family home! Shows how important it is to plant unique specimens when you move into a home and train them through the years to become real statements in the landscape.

Loved seeing you climb the tree! lol

Sparkling amethyst is so beautiful...purple...gorgeous! Your grandma has such a beautiful home! Thanks Jack, so beautiful! 🤗🤗

What a absolutely beautiful garden an home. The location alone is awesome. How wonderful to be able to have that view. Thanks for sharing.

I, too, get drunk on peonies. One of my favorites. 🐝

Yes it’s true! Lots of studies have been done that plants know exactly what you’re thinking and your intentions. There’s books by Baxter about it and Vogel, and many others since the 1960s. Right now I’m listening to the audiobook “the secret life of plants“ by Christopher Bird and Peter Thompkins. It’s so cool, it has chapters like ‘plants and ESP’, and ‘plants can read your mind’.

I absolutely love this garden and house. my favorite gardens tour of all time. I hope one day I get to visit Mackinac Island.

Very beautiful!💚

Just gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing this very special property. Would love to see those lilacs in bloom.

😍thank you for the tour. A warm and earthy garden

Clicked so fast! Always LOVE Grandmas house! The first place I think of when I think of climbing hydrangeas!

This is awesome,watching this from Africa.I love your Grandma s House ,it is classic design indeed and the garden georgeos and you are a great designer and presenter.I appreciate.Be blessed.

That entrance hiding the house was my favourite since your first tour at your Grandma's house. Thank you for an update. What a beautiful house ,garden and island. You,sure, are living in a paradise Jack. Thank you so much for all the house tours. Best ,from Cappadocia, Turkey.

Jack, your grandma's house and garden are exquisite. You do a great job. Thank her for letting us see her beautiful home.

Great video beautiful gardens and beautiful home. This young man would be such a wonderful host on HGTV

Thanks for the lesson on deadheading geraniums!

Lovely house and garden. I bet you all have some great family get togethers there. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing the fall tour.

"Crap" apple? haha I love your grandmother's home, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

"Crap apple" 😂😂😂love it! LOVE that meteor shower verbena?!! Gonna look that up

Yay! Grandma garden tour ❤️ Also, Thanks for the deadheading tip - I’ve been doing it wrong all these years.

I enjoyed the history of your family homes. I can really appreciate how much time and love went into making these houses a home. It’s fun how excited you are about the design of the gardens.

Thank you Grandma! 💚🌱🌿

So pretty! Love the Island, I need to get up there soon! I have a picture of my daughter in front of that gate!

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing! Magical Mackinac with us ☺️🙏🏽

Breathtaking home. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful home with some awesome garden beds! Your grandmother is lucky to have you take care of her garden (you're lucky to have her as well!). Thanks for sharing :)

Please show us the maintenance part of these beautiful garden! I would love to se the whole trimming of the espaliers

One of the most beautiful house I’ve seen !

Thank you Jack and your grandma for the tour of her gorgeous garden. Breathtaking!!

Can you pls show grandma in the next video? What a pleasure to see this oasis.

Best property on the island, was just there!

Amazing garden tour, thanks Jack,please tell your Grandma that we love her garden, and your Grandpa vision just turned out amazing

Beautiful!! Thanks to your Grandma for sharing!!

I just found your channel through Laura's channel. So happy to know you have a channel. So enjoy the tour of your grandmother's garden. Thank you!!

I’m not even a minute inn, I’m in love with your grandma’s garden and house 😆🤩.

Omg! That weeping elm is gorgeous!!

Under the Elm is magical. Astilbe is just blooming here in Montana; we have to wait too. The elements have done their job on the cedar siding, it looks simply beautiful. Your grandfather was so right to just leave it. I always wondered what you chose for the space near the beech tree. The most special thing is to transplant from your own garden and give, or to receive a new planting from someone else. So your grandma receives a gift from Emory and a gift from your own garden. Couldn't be more perfect. Thank you both for the much awaited tour.

Thank you. Been to Mackinac to the proven winners convention but didn't realize this place was your Grandmothers . Beautiful !!!
