My Grandma's House ~ Summer Garden Tour on Mackinac Island!

My Grandma's House has been an icon on the Island for many years. It has this special charm to it that can light up any person walking by on the sidewalk. Join us for a garden tour and check out some of the new installations you all helped me out with last year!

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.

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 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! 🤗

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.

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!

Very random as YouTube 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
