- Many of you have seen videos about my Grandmother's House, but did you know that Lago Vista was actually their first home on the island? Tune in as I walk you around the gardens of this magical victorian!
A little piece of Heaven! 🪴🌺🌿🌺🌳🌲
Love the hollyhocks ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Absolutely love your videos!
Super, super stunning, for sure!
I love the boxwood that mirrors the curved front porch and bowed windows! Beautiful!
What a STUNNING property! 😂...The 2 properties are like night and day appearance wise. All kidding aside, both properties are beautiful.
That was so awesome
Great tour. Love the holly hock story. !!
Love the tour!!’
Nice little walkabout on a Tues evening, thanks for putting it together. Enjoyed the drone views of your Grandmothers place too.
It's Monday. 😁

@@itsmewende very true! hope you had a good week! enjoy your weekend!
@@lisasantoro4724
Thanks, same to you, enjoy the weekend.
I didn't realize your family has owned that charming home for so many years! The last time I was on the island I took loads of photos of those hollyhocks and any others I saw! In the future, I will stop and look more closely at all the types of plants in the gardens I pass by on my walks. What a delight to see all the beauty you've created. Thank you!
Thanks Jack always love to see your gardens on Mackinac Island.
The Island is breath taking. Thanks to both Laura and Jennie that I follow, I was able to discover you and your channel.
Love Mackinac Island & the flowers!!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories and the lovely garden.
This young Man is simply a Gardening Genius. Such a presence of calmness and style. Would love to see this Beautiful destination. Love that there are no cars allowed, horse and buggy....magnificent
Beautiful 🤩
I love how you touch each plant with no fear lol - you just swipe them with so much love
Hi Jack, do your ever house tour the inside of the homes???? I love love the beautiful Gardens 😍
So pretty, I love the white fence. I have always wanted a white fence like that.
Love these videos- the gardens and homes are spectacular and really appreciate all the history and fun facts that you share with the viewers !
Green with envy, well done!
Beautiful garden
My wife and I were just there on Mackinac this past weekend, all those properties are very beautiful, your grandparents are so lucky to have property on Mackinac island.
Wow what a beautiful home and garden!!
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!
That house is stunning! Love the choice of plants for this beautiful elegant lady. God bless
Mackinaw reminds me of where I grew up in Northville Michigan, Historical district...👍🙂❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful cottage! Thanks for sharing! Love that you compliment the hollyhocks! The history of the cottages is beautiful!
Definitely enjoyed your tour. As always love your ideas.
Very beautiful gardens. I hope this is what heaven looks like 💚🌿💚🙏🙏🙏 Everything is just incredible, thank you so much for sharing. 💚
Hope to meet you at the Grand Garden Show Jack. Always enjoy your videos.
This camera man is outstanding,...the way he captures these beautiful gardens is magic!
Thank you. What a neat garden tour. Fun to hear the history of the house & your family.
Looks amazing , is it your parents house?
Love to hear the history of those gorgeous “cottages “🍃🌿💕
Another absolutely stunning property. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the Island. 🌺
wowzer - what a beautiful garden - well done !!! And who knew you were so very connected to the island - the hotel, the history - what a great story you have to tell !!! thanks for sharing it all with us
Hello, I'm new to your channel. Just made my first trip to the island, what a great time we had. Went right by your Grandmothers home, it was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I am going back and watching all your other videos too.
Love the family history and the heritage that you carry on in the garden designs and maintenance. It's an inheritance of natural beauty! Choosing Joy ~ stephanie
Thank you for sharing such a lovely place with us.
A shout out to Jack Barnwell, truly an ambassador of Mackinac Island. A kind, sweet gentleman.
Its no wonder you have such inspiration having grown up amid such beauty. Every memory would fill your senses, and there would be no way to contain it. Wonderful!
That is gorgeous. Love hearing your family history. I can understand why you love it so much. A lot of fantastic memories.
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!
I would love to learn more about ground covers in perennial beds/borders. Love your gardens!
Jack, you lucky dog! I can't wait to see it all up close and in person next week 🥰
Beautiful! Thank you,
Just beautiful!!! How incredibly lucky are you and your family?!?!
Lovely and kudos to you and your family for their hard work! It was nice hearing the family history behind the house.
I always have loved that front gate. So beautiful!
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 😊
Stunning 🤩, beautiful ❤️
Jack, always a great appreciation for how you and your team always compliment existing structures/cottages and never over-power anything by size and/or number of plants. Your understanding and respect for what 'has been' allows each project to continue its story. Awesome job, Jack!
I didn't know that home has been in your family! I love seeing these private gardens on the island. They're all so beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Just lovin' those exquisite Mackinac garden tours

So fun! Nice to see the gardens in progress. We were there early summer and they are filling in nicely! Great job to the video crew for capturing all the detail!
Beautiful! This house and the gardens are so charming. Mackinac Island is on my bucket list, it's a must see! Do you live on the island the whole year? I bet it gets so cold up there!
Your family was greatly blessed with landscaping and gardening talents. Just absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing these videos.
What a blessing to be a part of the history of Mackinac Island! Each house & garden is unique! I love those red hollyhocks!
Wonderful tour...love the combination of close ups of plants with drone shots of the landscape. Well done!
Thank you for sharing your family history with us. That is so incredible that you got to grow up at such an amazing place you are very blessed. Are those beautiful cottages still in your family? So pretty you do amazing work
Gorgeous home! Love Victorian old homes! Beautiful garden Jack! Next year will be more filled in, stunning! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🤗
Truly loved the tour of the garden! I especially loved hearing of your family's history on the island. Jack, you are such a good caretaker of those gardens and for your grandmother! I know she must be so proud of you, your work & ethic, taking care of family history, and sharing stories of the island. Truly a beautiful place to see and know about.
Thank you so very much!
Have a blessed day,
Joy from Winder, Georgia. 🍑
Hi Jack, Yet another beautiful specimen of Mackinac Island! My dreams come true when I watch your videos of this magnificent island! Have a wonderful day! :)
Do more videos Jack 📹 you deserve more exposure than what you're getting.
Workin on it!!! It’s hard to do while we are on so many projects working too!
Such a calming area. I learn new things with every video! I didn’t know your grandparents owned the Iroquois or this gorgeous Victorian! How lucky you all are to have each other!
Excited to be there in a couple weeks. Love your garden style. The gardens is what draws us back every year💚 Love the colors in front of your Grandma's home!
Absolutely stunning 😍!!! I love the aerial views! It puts everything in perspective so wonderfully!!! Your family is so blessed! I love your videos!!!
Just lovely - enjoyed the history of the Victorian and its landscape including the tree your father planted. You are in constant motion - your work is never done but the results are stunning!! Thank you for sharing your story.
What a charming garden! Jack I love what you and your team did with the beds under the trees and the beach rock mulch for the drainage area. 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.
Beautiful house and gardens🥰
You are truly blessed, living this storybook life. Thanks for sharing.
Jack, I love all these garden tours, especially on Mackinac Island! Please keep them coming! But please tell your production guy to balance the music with the volume of your speaking. Also, please don’t use a filter to make the background blurry. We want to see the landscape!
In my world, this is not a small cottage.
Just discovered your channel and wanted to say how much I enjoyed your videos! Your production value is awesome and your knowledge is so helpful. Looking forward to following along!
Beautiful!
❤ your videos of the island, I want to visit! I have pachysandra that I want to move to a very shady corner of my garden where there is not very much growing. Should I have any concerns?
“Laced it out” - thanks for teaching me about this technique.🌸
Absolutely beautiful ....@jack Barnwell is there where you grew up
What a beautiful place, but would love to see the inside.
Very very beautiful🌿🌿🌿👌👌👌
Hi Jack! I am a new subscriber! I found you from Laura's and Aaron's channel from watching Garden Answer! ❤
Love your videos and how you handle all the flowers. It’s almost a dream for me to see these gardens. I visualize my garden to look like this but this year I didn’t spray for deer and rabbits- and now squirrels so I look at everything eaten to the core. Sigh.
Beautiful!! ❤
Very beautiful! One of his best videos!!
Hi Jack! I hope you see this message and will respond to me! I'm in need of your expert opinion. My husband and I bought a property that was established in 1927. I have a lovely old hedge of lilac (just the good old fashioned purple lilac) that stand about 15' tall. The hedge is about 75' long. The problem is that the lilacs develop powdery mildew, and although I treat it, it's never enough to eradicate it from the plants and surrounding soil. I've noticed that the green growth around the base of the plants (about 2-3 ft off the ground) does not have powdery mildew and I'm wondering if I just cut the hedge down (how many feet I do not know - please advise), would I be able to revive the plants? Also, once powdery mildew sets in, is that something I will have to deal with forever with those plants as well as in the soil? The powdery mildew is so unsightly that I'm considering removing the lilacs, if there is no better alternative. The hedge is a serious statement in our landscaping, and lovely, when the plants are healthy, but unsightly in late summer into fall. Would love your advice. Hope all is well with you!
It depends a lot on the air flow you may be able to establish- if the hedge is in an open area with enough regular breeze, thinning it significantly- I’m talking about 50-60% thinner than the “thicket” of hedge it likely is now, then you may be able to get enough ventilation through it to actually eradicate the fungus- however- it won’t kill the lilacs…
@@JackBarnwellDesign Hi Jack. Do you mean the powdery mildew won't kill the lilacs? And am I understanding that you think if I just leave the height, but remove 50-60% of the interior branches, I might get enough circulation to eradicate (or lessen) the mildew? If so, would I take out first - any dead branches, then move to the older larger branches? Is that the correct approach? Thanks so much.
HELLO JACK YOUR GRAND MOMA HOME IS AMAZING BREATH TAKING
Is that the house you grew up in?
❤love it! ...my holyhock, lavender & hydrangea died😢 but, my English & French roses are growing well with the cold front hitting my country, Malaysia .
Great job! 😊 truly master gardeners.❤❤❤❤
I get so much joy watching your videos and your tours on Mackinac Island. I have a question, do you get moles and/or voles and if so, how do you handle them? Thank you and have a great day, Mary.
Lovely flower garden ❤ it..thank you for sharing 😊
🍅🫑👨🌾☀️🌻🐝Thank you for sharing your garden!! It is a great inspiration to me. I can see you put a lot of work and love into growing! All the hard work it worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday and the harvest it brings me so much joy! It’s coming to the end of my 3 season gardening but there is still so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks and advice! I’ll defiantly be watching more to learn as much as I can during the off season. I make garden videos too and Id love to learn more from each other as we grow!
Hello......new subscriber here........ great job dude 👌👌👍🏻👍🏻
Can you go over the flowering perennials and ferns that do well on the island? We have visited and moved to zone 6a which looks similar and trying to plan a garden. Thanks
The island is 5a which can get about 10 degrees or more colder than your zone in winter. The heat and humidity in summer is higher in your area.
Beautiful! Wow!
Thanks
Jack, love your videos, and since I live in Michigan, especially love the Mackinac videos. PLEASE, PLEASE tell me where I can get a Great Star Hydrangea?
Absolutely stunning!!! I love your style of gardening! Is it a heucharella (foam flower × heurchera) or a foam flower?? I was looking into those foe my shade garden!
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.
Fantastic 🌺
