Who else just wants to hangout with Jack? He's so cool 😎
Is there anything better than listening to someone talk about something they are so passionate about? Love this video!
She's a great interviewer, gave him a huge amount of room to speak and expand on his art there. Great job! 🎨🌞👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
True, it's like they are just having a conversation
@@dlasky good 👍
Ok, here’s a person who knows what he’s talking about with a passion for it. What a pleasure to watch, and thank you 1000% for just letting him talk. I finally moved back to Michigan after many years away and have visited the island a few times introducing my family to it. After watching this I’ll be sure to take the garden tour next time. Outstanding job to you both and never bored with the details!
Good 👍
In July 2012, my husband & I visited America from New Zealand, to where I have two sons living in Michigan. One of our daughter-in-laws took us on a three day visit to Mackinaw Island & we had such a wonderful time exploring the island & looking at the beautiful homes & gardens. I really enjoyed revisiting Mackinaw Island again, & seeing the enthusiasm of this young man & the pride he so obviously takes in these immaculate gardens.
We just came back from our annual family trip to Mackinac Island to start the summer. The only way to get around is by bicycle or horse and carriage. There is an 8 mile loop to walk or bike around the island, which is so beautiful with vistas of Lake Huron and the Straits of Mackinac. There are so many Michigan "cottages" with gardens so there is endless inspiration. The whole island is such a gem and we are lucky to have it in Michigan.
That side yard has had me daydreaming for days, I keep coming back to watch it! He is unbelievably talented!
And handsome!
And young. Super impressive
That is one guy who loves his job. What a beautiful , peaceful place. Love it!
Many places on the island have gardens that are to die for.
Kat Mi Yeah, he has over 200 clients on the island!
Stunning! You can hear his passion and pride, in the way he speaks of this gorgeous garden and landscape...as he should be proud. I loved this tour..thank you, Laura!
He is proud of his work, as well as he should be.
you can tell he loves his job- I am so happy for him!
Wow...this man knows his work and is very knowledgeable about the island! Awesome! Need to go visit! 🇨🇦
What a talented young man! It's amazing that the area has the worst winters but the plants come back strong every spring. Thank you for sharing this tour. It was truly enjoyable.
I love this ! I love all your videos 😍❤️
As a Michigander, who has been to mackinac island many times , I love this video
How on earth did he get that knowledge? What a talent. Obviously, he was born with part of that talent, you don’t teach some of what he accomplished. That was a thrill for me. The pure manpower to lay those many stepping stones was unbelievable. Breathtaking gardens. Loved every minute!
Wow! What a fantastic garden tour. Absolutely beautiful garden.
Talk about your labor of love! So much work every year the history of this island is incredible. They did a great job articulating the different variables of this magical place.
The gardens and stone walls are truly magnificent!
Wow, Just WOW!!
Gorgeous.
I'd be in heaven. I feel like I'm breathing the beautiful air just watching this video 😍
This guy is gorgeous! What an opportunity to work on the Island. He seems to really enjoy it
Geez, how beautiful!! Jack is super-knowledgeable about all facets of the Island. Great tour!!
Laura is my favorite peep. She is truly amazing.
So gorgeous. Michigan lawns are so lush and the green is so rich. Thank you for giving us a peek. 💕
I really liked the big slate stepping stones in the grass along the paths.
New to following Jack Barnwell. Been watching Laura since 2018.
I have lived in Michigan all of my life and have yet to make it to the island. My sister got to spend some time there, working one year, and just loved it before going away to Emmaus Bible College in Chicago. I did make it to Chicago. Now I have to make it to the island. It is so beautiful! This has just inspired me to make a plan to go this summer.
This is what paradise looks like! Wow!
Here in Michigan we’re proud of the island, once you’ve been there you’ll never forget it. I’m so happy you were able to visit it.
Two of my favorite youtubers in one video. You both are so talented and lucky to have all these plants and flowers at your fingertips.
omg, I am in love with the place. A garden paradise
Beautiful Setting....and can't help but think of my favorite movie "Somewhere in Time" filmed there.
Stunning...simply STUNNING!
I wish I could find a landscaper who is truly an artist like this guy!
So passionate about his work and I loved hearing him talk about it all from what flows underneath to the reasons for color or water features........ She was a great interviewer also,.....asked good questions. Loved this video and this place!!! His designs are a dream and I can see why he has over 200 clients!!
I heard the passion and commitment but didn’t see that passion in his gardens 🌺
What an amazing video, so love the gardens and the obvious love the landscaper has for his work.
Last summer we went to the island. A lot of houses have very beautiful garden and flowers . I saw some Damascus roses one house. Very beautiful! Also saw some unknown beautiful flowers.
I’m 2 1/2 hrs away & it’s been years since I’ve been there😊 I’ve got to put in a trip to Mackinaw Island before summer’s end!!! This garden tour was amazing!!!
A beautiful tour of a magnificent garden and its surrounds.
Paradise....I think of paradise when viewing these homes and gardens. Excellent tour and interview! Thank you. :)
You can’t be in a bad mood when you watch this video. Fabulous!!
Mackinaw Island is a very special place, “stuck in time”. No cars, nearly all horse and carriages. Love hearing the clippity clips of the horses. The gardens are fabulous and Jack Barnwell really knows his business.
I'm from Michigan originally and can remember visiting Mackinac Island many times with my family.Thank you for this wondering garden tour! Jack Barnwell is a talented landscape designer!
I'm a Michigander who loves Mackinaw Island and all the natural beauty, architecture, foliage and garden's. Great video!
Mackinac Island is one of my favorite places...so many beautiful memories on this island...such a pretty place ...absolutely loved hearing the history of the house and gardening
Made me laugh when he said "summer cottages", I saw some mini mansion houses but no cottages!! lol lol
Yes, on Mackinac they have a different definition of the word 'cottage'!!
That man is so attractive. 😀
I tried to thumbs up this video a million times but it won’t let me. Absolutely stunning gardens and houses. A complete paradise! 😍
I would love to see this myself, so beautiful.

Oh My Gosh thank you for the tour, fun tip watch and so beautiful. I could love a big beautiful coffee table book of Mackinac Island and the gardens.
Good idea
Can't wait to see this when I go to Mackinac Island again! 🤗
How do you rent a place?
Everything is so beautiful and green , it’s hard to have a favorite plant. I love to hear the stories he is telling!Laura is so good too.
Absolutely beautiful.......on my bucket list now!!!
Awesome cottages and gorgeous landscaping.
Wow! I could easily live there. Coming from the south western part of Nova Scotia, we have very similar weather (harsh winters as well). I am glad you asked him of his favourite flowers for both shade and sun. Thanks for the tour.
We have been to Mackinac Island and all the summer people pretty much gone ,but it was wonderful the people were wonderful ..I can’t wait to go there for a summer vacation. Maybe to that hotel looks beautiful

I've lived here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for over 50 years. Love visiting Mackinac Island. I guarantee I've never seen these beautiful gardens so close up. Thanks for the tour! Well done.
LOL. Man's perspective..."Look at the bricks, the steps, the rocks!" Laura's perspective..."Look at the varieties of flowers. What is your favorite ground cover?"
LOVE this place! Thanks so much for the video and also learning so much from this young man.
Dide loves his job so much! That’s precious!

I went to Mackinac Island this June. I remember biking along West Bluff to the Grand Hotel and I was amazed at the landscaping of every house. It is so beautiful and such an inspiration for gardeners.
Love hydrangeas yours are just beautiful...so colourful your garden
We are always staying at the Grand Hotel. We take a look at this cottage later this summer! Thank you!
Hope you enjoy your trip!

Wow.. just beautiful!! Such a majestic property!!!
Beautiful video love the cottage. Enjoy
I love Mackinac island it is so beautiful I was able to go their once
This is an amazing video!! Thank you so much. I have an old pink Victorian in the smoky mountains in Pigeon Forge and it needs serious landscaping. The house is 128 yrs old and started as a log cabin which the current house has been built around and theres never been any landscaping done and the way the land is laid out in this video is very similar to some of my land so this was perfect for me to see! I love your videos on perennials too. I am not plant savvy but you are encouraging me with your videos. Thank you so much!!!
So beautiful,thank you.👍🏻❤️
So beautiful landscape. love all the flowers and plants.
This is so refreshing and lovely to watch. Its so beautiful...
No weeding to be done is my kind of garden!👍
That was the color of my childhood home. I love light blue paint on porch ceilings!
Love seeing the 2 of you together. Laura has been part of my garden for a very long time. Thank you for sharing this video👍🏻
Gorgeous gardens - would have liked to hear more about what plants he used than just "ground cover" and type of trees and so on.
Wonderful garden and tour! Thank you Erin and Jack of Barnwell Landscape. Too bad we couldn't see a before picture because it sounds as though the transformation was extensive! The stone work alone must have been a tremendous project, not to mention all the beautiful, well-chosen plants. Well done, stupendous!
Очень красиво! Идеально! Very beautiful! Gorgeous!
Absolutely unbelievably awesome! I can't imagine how beautiful it is in person, thank you!
Oh,my word!!! So much inspiration in this video.I love to watch the both of you.Happy gardening
Absolutely stunning…thank you for taking us on a tour.
My gosh I love visiting the Island and staying at the Mackinac mill camp ground in my RV on the water over looking the Bridge and Island. It's beautiful up there and all the other areas of West Michigan coast lines.
The perfect MAN... a gardener...and a HOT gardener at that!!!!!!
