Somehow in my binge watching GA i missed these tours with Jack Barnwell, WOW!!!!! What a life he is living preserving such beauty and continuing to make it beautiful! You can tell his genuine love for the island! Definitely a bucket list location!!!
This video is so professional. I felt like I was watching a segment from "This Old House." I can't believe how young and knowledgeable he is. And have his own landscape buisness with 200 customers. I could live in that little cottage that was shown at 16:30.
How beautiful, just the fact that the homes are so well preserved coupled with those beautiful gardens. They truly don't build 'em like that anymore. Love the shaded path and steps in the first house, just like a forest from a fairytale.
vishu singh probably a typical guy, like to know what his wife would share about those things when you actually have to live with him. I am married to a really good looking guy and almost everyday I look at him and roll my eyes & tell him "if all those ladies only knew!!!"
Okay, so we went to Mackinaw Island because of this video. My husband and I grew up in MI but now live in NC. We still have family in the lower Peninsula but wanted to see the Upper Peninsula. We stopped at this house on Mackinaw Island and took pictures!! I was so excited! REALLY beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Spectacular tour Jack, Laura and Aaron. What beauty you've brought to those gardens Jack. Certainly a thrill to see it all put together. Strikingly impressive how it's all put together. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much to Jack Barnwell and yourself for touring us through such beautiful gardens! I would love to see them personally. He is definitely a talented landscaper!!!
Wow! What a treat to get a tour of the yards of two of cottages. I loved hearing about the history and culture of the Island. It's now on my bucket list.
Oh my God!!! This is just stunning!!! They created the landscape in a way that you think it's been there for ever!!! Jack and his team made an amazing job!!! It's like you have time traveled 120 years ago!!! Thank you for the video Laura and Aaron!!! By the way I love that little belly!!! Greetings from Greece!!!
wow...this stroh cottage garden is way much better than the garden hotel. so nice. Fantastic job by this Jack Barnwell company. It's done so seamlessly...
Wow, what a breathtaking view all around! I never thought about all the maintenance required for the homes in such severe cold! Thank you for the tour!
I visited and explored the island every summer growing up through the 50’s and 60’s. As a parent my husband and I shared this unique and beautiful island with our 5 children. Now they feel as I do that we have ownership in the island. The gardens have never been as magnificent as they are now under Jack’s gifted vision.
I love your comment! Lifelong Michigan resident here, I also worked on the Island in my early college years, such wonderful memories. This video is a wonderful sneak peek of things you can't see on an ordinary tourist visit. Your ownership comment truly resonates.
I need Jack Barnwell in my life. Thank you laura and Aaron for showing and letting us know more about the island and Jack for all the great information he gave to you and us. Ohh and Proven Winners. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the tour! I live in London, England but my husband is from northern Wisconsin and has relatives in Michigan's UP. I've not ventured there so it's lovely to see northern Michigan.
OMG!!! How beautiful. A lot of fascinating info in such a small grand tour. He was great to listen to. Will definitely need to visit there some day. Thanks so much Laura and Aaron for a great job.
I need to move into a cooler climate so I could have a garden like that. Absolutely stunning. I live in the desert of California where it got to 115 this summer. Yesterday was 110 degrees cooled off to 100 at 10:00 last night. I'm planning my move as I write.
Aw this is the video I wanted to see, I got busy with family things and missed a few months....but these gardens are gorgeous! Outstanding!! I would love to live there...except for the cold winters. I love that they use animals and not cars, when I was a child this would have been my dream place. But now that I'm older, I'm not so sure I could stand the winters.
you are in my neck of the woods. We are heading up to our cottage tomorrow which is a little over an hour south of Mackinac Island. The island is such a special place and something Michigan is very proud of .
This was so enjoyable. It's fantastic what Jack Barnwell has created there. I enjoyed learning the story about the properties and it's really hard to believe that the landscaing he put in at the Stroh house is only a few years old. We have a similar landscape zone mix but this is a tad bit colder. It's amazing how well the hydrangeas do considering the harshness of the winters there. I'm in Traverse City and have worked to create a flow with my plants as we walk along the garden path to our patio area and found some great inspiration from his work. Thank you for showing this!
This video is everything! The camera angles, the interview, the tour, the host and most specially the garden! I wish I could wake up there everyday ❤❤❤
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!! Its crazy they did all that by hand! I love all the detail in the old cottages, what a stunning place to live. It's so cool they get around with horses and bikes. Thank you for sharing this, Laura and Jack! I had never heard of Mackinaw Island before, I definitely want to visit someday!
Mackinac Island is so amazing . You can ride a bike around the island or cut through the middle of it. There are horses to rent, carriage rides, and an old military fort-there is another fort in Mackinaw City. There are several old buildings of historical significants you can tour. The island is famous for their horses and homemade fudge.
Goodness - Talk about Paradise on Earth, so so lovely! - Wonderful tour. Thanks so much for sharing this Laura and Jack. All Good Blessings to the two of you - Barbara White
Love, Love the Island!!! My dream was to visit it. I will never forget how beautiful it is. I spent a lot of time walking by these gorgeous homes ❤️ Of course the Grand Hotel is amazing too. Thank you so much for your wonderful tour. Now I want to go back. Kind of hard as I’m in California. Maybe someday.
Beautiful!!! Mackinaw Island is a very special place to me - we got married and had our reception at the Grand Hotel. Red Geraniums and lilac always remind me of that very special day.
That is so, so interesting! And it's so nice to see people so much into their work, not only in this video, but other Tous too. Young people, who obviously love what they do, and really have something to say about it. Sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect, but I do hope you understand what I mean.
Thank you for taking us on tours of other gardens! I find fresh inspiration from each one! I love your garden and how we get to see it take shape project to project, and season to season but there is also enjoyment to be found in touring "finished" gardens!
Hi, Laura, This second tour was amazing what a beautiful place to live, work or vidit, the island is so well preserved, this was a treat, we saw your mind working, we think you and Aaron, will be putting in a waterfall, sometime soon. Say, hi to Aaron for us he took great footage of everything, it was like being there, T and I just loved it, hope you rested, the latter part of the day, be well, thanks for sharing.Blessings! !!!!!!!
I think the waterfall company should send you a kit for free! After all he mentioned them by name, we'd all love to see one being built! All 207,000 subscribers
This was a wonderful guest tour guide! Very knowledgeable and so easy on the eyes! I would love to hear his favorite 10 plants and have some video clips.
I'm so pleased to have found your channel. I started by watching your demonstration of planting bulbs. Excellent tour of this stunning landscaped properties. Makes one want to visit! Thank You.
Everything is so beyond beautiful!!!! I loved the tour!! Thank you!! I am curious as to how they mow all of those beautiful lawns without gas powered mowers or tractors. Also, I hope you and Aaron do install one of those waterfalls!!! I would love to see the process from start to finish!! Again, thank you!!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of this island. It is breathtaking beautiful. Can't image how many people it takes to maintain this. I know you also enjoyed your visit there and got lots of ideas for home. Another wonderful video..
Amazing tour! Jack is so passionate and I loved hearing the history of the cottage and garden. I remember this cottage from last year's tour because it was my favourite and wanted to see more of it. Thank you!
Wonderful tour and such a knowledgable guy and extremely pleasant. I gotta go there next year, and I think I need to book really early because when I looked into it at the beginning of June most all of the Grand was booked out.
That was a beautiful tour and such a beautiful place. I was from Michigan, it's a beautiful state the farther up you go the more beautiful it gets. Never was to the island though but definitely going to go!
WOW, WOW, and really WOW. Now I understand why people say to visit this island. I loved hearing about the history, also. What a grand vacation this would be when there was time to admire all the details. Can normal people walk around the area (sidewalks?) to get a good view of the homes and gardens or do you have to be in a formal tour group.
I think I’m watching him more than the gardens ❤️
😂😂😂😂
I was just thinking that. I’ve never seen such a handsome gardener. He has a nice smile. Lol! Sorry Laura I promise I’m listening to you lol.
Haha
🙈🥰
what gardens?? HAHAHA
I admire someone that has passion for his or her work. You also did a great job of not upstaging him but rather added to the tour gracefully.
They made the landscape look like it's been there forever.
Somehow in my binge watching GA i missed these tours with Jack Barnwell, WOW!!!!! What a life he is living preserving such beauty and continuing to make it beautiful! You can tell his genuine love for the island! Definitely a bucket list location!!!
This video is what introduced me to Laura and GA!
You work so well with Jack.....you NEVER try to out shine him. You are just an amazing lady!!!
This video is so professional. I felt like I was watching a segment from "This Old House." I can't believe how young and knowledgeable he is. And have his own landscape buisness with 200 customers. I could live in that little cottage that was shown at 16:30.

What an expert in Jack Barnwell!!!! Both of you together speaking is a wealth of information! Thank you!!!!!
Wowoweeee....I enjoyed this garden tour!
I think i have a crush on that landscape guy. I almost looked at him more than the gardens haha 😍
Isla Peach right?!? I think I fell in love 😍
can i get an AMEN! lord, a sexy man that also loves to garden?! lol
christine c I've been married to one for 30 years!
vishu singh probably a typical guy, like to know what his wife would share about those things when you actually have to live with him. I am married to a really good looking guy and almost everyday I look at him and roll my eyes & tell him "if all those ladies only knew!!!"
Dream garden, dream man , what's not to love !
I'm getting a glass of wine tonight, throwing this up on the big screen and watching for hours, all the tours. I'm loving this
Jack Barnwell is on his way to becoming a "National Treasure", I always love seeing what him and his team do. Thanks for sharing.
Okay, so we went to Mackinaw Island because of this video.
My husband and I grew up in MI but now live in NC.

I live here in Michigan and been visiting Mackinac Island for many years. Every time I go I see something new. It’s a beautiful Island.
Wow! What a treat to get a tour of the yards of two of cottages. I loved hearing about the history and culture of the Island. It's now on my bucket list.

Very handsome and polite man, thanks Laura.
Thanks so much for the tour! I live in London, England but my husband is from northern Wisconsin and has relatives in Michigan's UP. I've not ventured there so it's lovely to see northern Michigan.
That is absolutely stunning and so colorful for the zone 4!!! I like how they played with all shades of greens in the landscape... pretty clever!
Just breathtaking. Who could imagine living in such beauty?
OMG!!! How beautiful. A lot of fascinating info in such a small grand tour. He was great to listen to. Will definitely need to visit there some day. Thanks so much Laura and Aaron for a great job.
Ok...he's adorable & fun how passionate he is about flowers & gardening. The cottage gardens are amazing. Great tour...
Beautiful! One of my favorite trips was to the island and I love Jack's enthusiasm for his job!
I need to move into a cooler climate so I could have a garden like that. Absolutely stunning. I live in the desert of California where it got to 115 this summer. Yesterday was 110 degrees cooled off to 100 at 10:00 last night. I'm planning my move as I write.
Well, i absolutely loved watching all of this. And the guy too!😂❤️😊
Oh to be able to afford a cottage there. So gorgeous!
Aw this is the video I wanted to see, I got busy with family things and missed a few months....but these gardens are gorgeous! Outstanding!! I would love to live there...except for the cold winters.

What an incredible tour!! This guide was wonderful. Thank you for bringing him on to share so much information with us!
Love riding bikes around Mackinac Island and eating all of the yummy fudge!! So beautiful!!
Great tour! Laura, you are a great interviewer! Beautiful shot Aaron! Thanks for taking us along!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks Laura & Jack for the tour! I was on Mackinaw Island when I was a little girl and have it on my list to go back to!
Wow my mind is blown! What a unique place with unique gardens. For some reason it reminds my of Anne of Green Gables.
you are in my neck of the woods. We are heading up to our cottage tomorrow which is a little over an hour south of Mackinac Island. The island is such a special place and something Michigan is very proud of .
Wow. Dream job. Stunning doesn't even do justice.
I so want to go to this place one day,, It is gorgeous. He made even the coldest days there sound inviting talking about hybernating with a good book.
Your response when he said gazebo. I could see you doing a whole series of these tours. Awesome for you sharing.
How wonderful to see such a young guy with so much knowledge and love and interest for the property.
Omg, I love this video. I'm going to watch this over and over again. The landscape is awesome. Love it
I love it too. Great ideas to do our gardens too!
This was so enjoyable. It's fantastic what Jack Barnwell has created there.

Laura, thanks for taking us on such a beautiful tour. The Gardens are absolutely breathtaking. I can't stop watching the video.
Thanks for sharing! My sister took my Mom and Dad there back in the 80's and they loved it then too. Such a Beautiful place.
That is the most beautiful garden I have ever seen ! What a dream it would be to have a yard like this. Kudos to the landscaping team, simply amazing!
So Beautiful~ more than I could have imagined. Love, love, love the tour and history.
thanks so much for sharing!

Of course the Grand Hotel is amazing too.
Thank you so much for your wonderful tour.
Now I want to go back.
Kind of hard as I’m in California. Maybe someday.
Oh my God I fell in love with that place. I should move to Michigan.💍

Thank you for a fantastic tour. What a beautiful place. And plants, flowers beautiful.
Beautiful!!! Mackinaw Island is a very special place to me - we got married and had our reception at the Grand Hotel. Red Geraniums and lilac always remind me of that very special day.
Absolutely gorgeous 🌸 have fun and hope you and Aaron get to relax a little.
Yeah, he's really cute, and best of all, is knowledgeable about plants!!
These gardens are beyond Beautiful!!
That is so, so interesting! And it's so nice to see people so much into their work, not only in this video, but other Tous too. Young people, who obviously love what they do, and really have something to say about it. Sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect, but I do hope you understand what I mean.
Lovely break from difficult hurricane news.

They have no cars on the island. They use power lawnmowers.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of this island. It is breathtaking beautiful. Can't image how many people it takes to maintain this.
I know you also enjoyed your visit there and got lots of ideas for home. Another wonderful video..
I have been on the island and seen him and his crew in action. Not.a big crew at all. They do great work.
The most beautiful tour I've ever seen. I remember visiting the island as a girl. Living in Wisconsin a revisit is on my to do list.
Beautiful!!! Especially love that waterfall!! With a volume??!!! SWEET
Just found Jack Barnwell Design youtube channel.... :) Thank you Laura for introducing us to this designer.
Amazing tour! Jack is so passionate and I loved hearing the history of the cottage and garden. I remember this cottage from last year's tour because it was my favourite and wanted to see more of it. Thank you!
That was was beautiful- l would love to see more cottage garden tours. The tour guide was very interesting. Thanks for sharing the island.
That was so beautiful! I've always wanted to visit there and now I really want to go! Thank you for showing us!
Wonderful tour and such a knowledgable guy and extremely pleasant. I gotta go there next year, and I think I need to book really early because when I looked into it at the beginning of June most all of the Grand was booked out.
What an amazing garden. Absolutely stunning thanks for taking the time to show us. I absolutely love this video.
That was a beautiful tour and such a beautiful place. I was from Michigan, it's a beautiful state the farther up you go the more beautiful it gets. Never was to the island though but definitely going to go!
What a treat! Love the tour. Wish I have the vision of making landscapes so beautiful.
Peace in the valley 😊😊😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Wow. Beautiful garden and stories about the island.
This such a great video! My husband and rode bikes around the island and had a great time there.
WOW, WOW, and really WOW. Now I understand why people say to visit this island. I loved hearing about the history, also. What a grand vacation this would be when there was time to admire all the details. Can normal people walk around the area (sidewalks?) to get a good view of the homes and gardens or do you have to be in a formal tour group.
Love all these videos. Have spent an entire evening watching.
This cedar garden bench would be the perfect addition to my garden. You could use it as a potting bench too. Just remember to plug the drain!’
That's the best fixer-upper of ever seen in my life!
OMG !! Thank you, Thank you, for showing us those beautiful Gardens and scenery love, love, it .. Made my day and took me back in time😀🌸🌸
The WHOLE video was nice, especially the walk behind Aaron did.. As I clear my throat!
