This 8”x10” Grand Hotel painting is available! My favorite view of the hotel is through the wildflower hillside. The poppies, daisies, and sweet pea are currently in bloom! I can’t wait to see what other Mackinac views make it onto canvas this summer! grandhotelmichigan . . #mackinacisland #grandhotel #mymackinac #makeitmackinac #wildflowers #painting #michigan #michiganart #mackinacpainting #art #artwork #sunset #sunsetart #mackinacsunset #exploremackinac #grandgardenshow

Cocktails and flowers tonight! #grandhotelmi #grandgardenshow

Sunrise over a new corner of a garden you might recognize from jackbarnwelldesign videos. I’m always interested to see what Jack does here because this corner is a real challenge. It’s planted along a sea wall where waves will crash over on occasion and in a very exposed area. This is coming right off an area that is protected and heavily planted with annuals so the other challenge is transitioning to a completing different situation in the same garden. If you are coming to Mackinac Island for the provenwinners Grand Garden Show in August make sure you check out some of the plants Jack used in this tough spot. #gardendesign #grandgardenshow #sunrise #imgonnagetrainedontoday

I had plans to create a collage of my final favorite photos from our trip to Mackinac Island and the Grand Garden Show; however, I quickly realized each photo deserved its own place, as they each convey a unique viewpoint and emotion. So, here’s the first of my favorites #grandgardenshow

Grand Garden Show attendees were some of the first to receive one of our brand new leafjoy H2O Mini hydroponic houseplants. See those cuties lined up on the shelf? These are houseplants you can grow almost anywhere, with no need to worry about pets digging in the soil or nibbling the foliage. What a fun gift idea, too! They need just about an inch of water to live - simply replace the water every 1-2 months as needed. If it eventually outgrows the glass vessel, you can plant and grow it like a regular potted plant. Look for our new leafjoy H2O Minis at select local independent garden centers and at The Home Depot.
