Winter at Meijer Gardens! Join me for a stroll through the Orchid Show and the beautiful glass house

Meijer Gardens is a world-class public garden and sculpture park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They had an Orchid show going on today so we thought we would check it out and film a little stroll through it all so you could enjoy it from wherever life finds you these days~~ If you get the chance, be sure to visit! It is amazing anytime of year, but especially in the spring and fall. #cheers

That was beautiful Jack! Thank you.

I live about 40 minutes from Grand Rapids and have been to Frederick Meijer Gardens many times. It's beautiful ! They also have butterflies in the spring, Christmas trees set up from many lands. Summer outdoor concerts. Well worth a stop.

Crazy your by me!! I have lived in Michigan most my life and have never been there!!!

[@copiouscookies00]

Cheers Jack. Liked the music.

Can’t tell you what year it was in the 2000s but I walked by the bench with my triplet grandsons and there sitting on the bench in the exact pose was a man . Lo and behold it was Fred Meijer himself. We all laughed together. It’s a lovely place!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Ahhh-the grocery store Meijers family! I’ve been away from Michigan a long time!

[@PJEC]

Hi Jack my favorite part the big jungle trees and the music 🎶 I love Gardens and Music

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Jack THANK YOU very much for this lovely tour of a facility I had no knowledge of! I will Google the family to learn more and will recommend it to family members in Michigan. This was a nice respite from our current weather situation in the seacoast of NH. Our temp is currently 0 degrees with an extreme wind chill warning!

[@friedahickman3164]

[@Toinette2883]

Looks like the perfect place to be on a cold winter day, thanks for sharing❣️

[@Tobhiyah]

Love the music and great videography! If it could move a little slower so we could see a little more it would be even better. Gorgeous place, thanks so much for sharing! 🙏

[@upnorth21]

It is a great place...maybe you could teach us how to grow orchids someday! :)

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Beautiful

[@mrssam1775]

Stunning. Thanks for sharing! May you have a great day as well.

[@JenniJohnson]

Just beautiful! Wow! Thanks for sharing this…Wow! Michigan seems to be a great zone/state/area for stunning gardens. You’re a lucky man Jack! Thanks again!😊

[@NinjaOrchids]

As an orchid lover and collector, this is paradise... yin & yang! 👍🏼

[@ejmedina7065]

Beautiful!!

[@ladikmk]

Orchids in January? Yes, please and thank you for sharing. It’s always lovely to see beautiful orchids blooming during the dark, dreary days of Winter. The next time I go through Grand Rapids, I’ll be sure to stop and visit.

[@wilmasgarden3098]

Beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along. Grand Rapids is about 2-3 hours from me. I'm just across the Illinois/Indiana border. Perfect day trip.

[@chrissieb6167]

Beautiful! Some very unique flowers! Thanks Jack!!

[@maryjoszymanski8409]

We visited the gardens in September last year. It was beautiful at every turn! So much to see outside we decided to save a visit to the conservatories for the colder months. Highly recommend a visit, even if it’s a little out of your way!

[@andreacline7141]

How beautiful. I just have to go now. So glad you could come back to Michigan and enjoy a little bit of Winter before you escape back into the Florida sunshine.

[@harrymyhero]

We went through that garden when we were there

[@ginafriend1690]

Hi and thanks, Jack! Always a pleasure to visit these places and see shows. I see there's at least one Dale Chihully sculpture hanging in there! 🙌🌿❤️ That horse would make Any human feel tiny!

[@maureentaylor1769]

The Meijer gardens are one of our favorite destinations. You must come back in the summer for several more videos!! It was so nice to meet you at Flowerland Saturday afternoon!👍🏼😁💐

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

Great to meet you too!

[@t.e.mccall8886]

How are the flowers, not the orchids, pollinated? Bees or by hand??? Thanks!

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

In the summer, they fill the greenhouses with butterflies~ and do a lot of hand pollination too….

[@irmacoppola2533]

Beautiful but... I get nauseous watching just about every JB video because whoever is filming is just going way too fast 🤢 is it just me?

[@JackBarnwellDesign]

We’ll slow it down~ thanks!

[@graffic13]

Jack come down and do the Orchid show @theToledoZoo I think it's in feb
