    This takes me back to 1981, when I spent the summer working as a maid at the Hotel Iroquois. I walked by Lago Vista every day coming & going from Lakewood, where many of the summer staff lived. It was such a fun summer. And, your grandmother sure knows a thing or two about running a beautiful hotel!

    Oh my gosh I love love your videos, and your gardening aesthetic but it’s so frustrating that often when you are talking about some aspect of the plants or garden that your videographer focuses on the house or you or some other scene! Like the bonsaid bed you mention, but we didn’t get a closeup! Would love more focus on the plantings and beds themselves!

    I have very fond memories of hollyhocks growing near my home in Michigan during my childhood. I was always curious about the plants in our neighborhood and my own yard. My stepfather grew up in New England and absolutely LOVED roses. Those he raised back then were such beauties! Thank You for sharing SO much about your family Jack. When I think back to my feelings when I visited Mackinaw I felt it was truly magical. Now I have a deeper understanding of those who played a part in creating and maintaining that wonderful magic. You have followed their example in positively STELLAR fashion, I LOVE following your vlogs. Keep on keepin on, and thank you once again 😊

A visit to Mackinac Island is on my bucket list and to walk by your Grandparents home and Lago Vista will be on my list of things to do when I go! I live in zone 9 so I can only dream of a garden like these, but you do inspire me to garden and learn how I can have my own garden space.

      Heuchera, heucherella, and tiarella are 3 closely related genera. The heucherella is a cross between heuchera and Tiarella. Heucherella are also called foam flower. Tiarella are commonly referred to as foamy flower. Heucherella can tolerate more shade.
