[@jenniferhooks2454]

Loved the video! Those flowers all over Mackinac are so beautiful! Even the P.O. has flowers. The colors were so vivid! Those astilbe looked like beautifully colored feathers. I loved the different colors together. You were safe from the snake; he was more afraid of you than you were of him. Thanks for sharing your trip to Mackinac with us. The music was pretty awesome too.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Thank you so much!

Great video, Jess! I've seen the island before, but it was quite nice to see it through your eyes. I just love your humble personality. As always, your singing did not fail to impress me! You are amazing! I know meeting Jack Barnwell, was exciting. He is one of the best, in the gardening world. You are lucky to live so close to the island. Again, thanks for taking us along.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

No problem! wished I could have got more but it was rainy on and off. So glad I got to meet Jack!

[@marywhitfield7553]

Thanks for sharing. We were there in October, 2019 and it was gorgeous then. We stayed in the Grande Hotel. It was so cold and rainy, but it was gorgeous. Had we not been on a bus tour we could have never afforded to stay there. How I would love to go back. Congratulations on your anniversary. Jack Barnwell is awesome. Like you can’t afford those aqua pots!!! Have to get my pots from Ollie’s!!! 😃 The creeping Jenny was so lush. What is the yellow flower at 27:26?? Oh my goodness the butterbur never heard of it. Yes the astilbe is gorgeous. Oh yes the Grand Hotel in spring. Jes this just a fabulous video to go along with your beautiful voice.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

That is a shrub called Potentilla. :) We've never stayed at the Grand, maybe someday

[@lisasantoro4724]

thank you for the tour. it was amazing. loved the "river" of flowers. wow! your voice is amazing as well, really beautiful. you should keep putting those in your video's. I got to go to the garden show about 6? years ago now. Jack is awesome. got to have lunch at your hotel (it's his grandma's so I hear) Loved the upgrades with the pier.

Thank you so much!

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Okay I can do that :) My Grandma used to sing us Gospel songs gowning up on her banjo so I know lots. Thanks for saying what you did, that was very nice!

Happy Anniversary Jes and Nate!!! Thank you so much for taking us along on your visit to Mackinac Island! I love seeing the plants through your eyes and camera lens! Thank you SOOOO much for singing I'll Fly Away!!! I requested that a few weeks ago when you sang a bit of it, I think when you were pruning your roses. It sounded BEAUTIFUL!! Best version I ever heard...thank you again so much!!! 😀

[@jesthesinginggardener]

You sure did! I kept trying to think of where to add it and the church with the memorial at Mackinac seemed just right :)

[@michellepollino4986]

Love the video, amazing flowers, color and just so peaceful. Thanks for sharing Jes.

[@patkennedy1454]

From Alpena and visited Machinac several times. So happy to follow you along there. Always bragged of the great vegetables and flowers you can grow there. New Jersey tomatoes cannot measure up to MI's. Your songs are so heartwarming.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Thank you very much! I want to get up to Alpena to see a friend and look for rocks on the shore sometime!

[@kathiesagert4299]

Hysterical about the chipmunk!!! Happy Anniversary you two! Thank you for showing us around. Every time we go there a bird poops on my husband's head. I crack up, but for some reason, he's not amused. 🤣🤣

I was saying the names of the plants along with you. I’m in Washington state, zone 8b so I can grow everything you showed in the tour. I don’t know that much about your channel so I’ll read up. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy this gorgeous place. I’m going to go there!

Thank you so much for a beautiful capture of Mackinac island, I felt like I was walking through the gardens with you! Beautifully done video where the viewer could actually see all the gorgeous plants and gardens and it doesn't feel rushed through.
