I will keep saying Jack you and your team need an HGTV show..how wonderful following the gorgeous cottages on Mackinaw and putting the G back into HGTV...
You are just amazing….the gardens just seem to take a life of their own.
I’m the guy from Alpena. I really appreciate that you took the time to thoroughly answer my question about shrubs for shade. I have most of the perennials that you mentioned. I actually prefer my shade gardeners because they have forced me to focus on foliage instead of flowers. You gave me some great ideas for shrubs. I’m heading to the nursery tomorrow to do some shopping. I just found out that my favorite nursery is open by appointment with lots of safety precautions. Thanks again!
I'm a Landscape Designer with 30+ yrs experience. College was great but my first couple of jobs in the field learning and working with crews as a Horticulturist prepared me 100% more than just learning plant names in college. Getting down and dirty is essential! I went on to design and it has been the most wonderful career!! Now I'm 55, retired and since I'm old school (all drawings by hand, no CAD) enjoy freelancing, working in my own yard and traveling to places like Mackinac to soak in the gorgeous flower beds that people like yourself have designed. :)
I like to use early spring bulbs around Hosta & hardy hibiscus, so they wake up by time the tulips are dying back. Jack, I can see the frustration in your eyes about voles! Great video!
Thank you....Stay safe.
Nicely done! Great info. Thanks!
Hi Jack! Thank you so much for answering my question regarding deer resistant plants! The article/website has lots of good information, plant ideas, and tips.
Thank you for giving me inspiration. Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you for emphasizing years of hard work, experience, and study before eventual mastery in landscape design. It's the answer to how to become great at anything, and it would be nice if more people gave that kind of sincerity, humility, and dedication to their vocations, themselves, and to the world via their offerings. The ''death of expertise'' is the death of full-hearted devotion and the heights of art and wisdom such devotion can produce.
Lots of great info, thank you!! Cracked up at the "damn bugs", thanks for not editing that out! It's nice to watch highly informative videos with a "real" vibe to them-breaks up the manontany! 😊
I appreciated all the shade gardening information! I have been to Mackinac Island once and would love to go again sometime!
Ready for the series on Hydrangeas! The ones I’ve seen in pictures from Mackinac Island look amazing!
Great info Jack , thanks ! I'm in zone 7 but I still took notes on the best ground covers you gave 🌿
Also, great advice to future students or people interested in Landscape Architecture ✅
I am a graduate in Landscape Architecture & Landscape Contracting from Mississippi State University. My advice to is to DOULBE MAJOR in Landscape Contracting / Business Management also ! It's only one more year of classes but it is so worth it , like Jack said , you learn SO much more about plants 🌿
Also you make more money in landscape contracting ✌️ 😊
Where can I get a hat likes yours? Australian?

Hi Jack, I am new to your channel, thank you for these Q&A's! I have a question about hard, wet clay in my landscape. My husband and I recently moved into our new build home 3 years ago and of course we have tons of clay lying only 4 inches below our top soil. Every time we plant something new, we remove tons of clay from the hole, and do a 50/50 mix of the already existing top soil with potting soil. I also add some bone meal before I plant. We also have a thick layer of cedar mulch across all of our flower beds. I'm wondering if we should be adding gypsum now also to that soil mixture? How would you tackle all the clay underneath the top soil of a newly constructed lot? Thanks a bunch
Sell the house! Hehe... no- just kidding~ I’ll discuss during our next Q n A~ we get this question a lot!
@@JackBarnwellDesign Oh my goodness you just made my day :) thank you!
ALooking forward to the horse paddock and fencing!
I saw a video where you mentioned the Monge Lilac as one of your favorites. What are your top favorites for red/wine, deep purple and white old fashioned (French/Common) varieties of lilacs. We are in zone 5 (Nebraska).
Vole maintenance in our yard is led by our Red Heeler, Rat Terrier, and Jack Russell who find them under the snow and then commit Vole-icide which usually occurs at the most inconvenient times to include bringing the corpses into the house!
I'd be interested in knowing your background, education, experience - the things that brought you to such prominence in the landscaping business.
Great advice. Love these Q &A!
A week ago I bought 9 begonia plants from Lowe's Hardware in my town in North Carolina. I laid them out still in their pot on the dirt. When I lifted the pots to plant them the next day, I found land planarian flatworms under three pots. I didn't know what it was so I planted the begonias. I researched them; they're evil and grotesque. Any advice going forward in finding and eradicating these disgusting worms?
Jack, how do you deal with rabbits in the garden if you don't have a dog? As you know, they multiply like ...rabbits! They do lots of damage to spring blooms and new shrubs and trees. My worst garden pests are rabbits, squirrels, and once in a while, voles. Any helpful advice you can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks. ~Margie
Plantskydd is phenomenal for all critters and lasts all summer!
what can you do to help thick clay soil turn into a better drainage soil that plants will take to? OR what can i plant in poor draining spots that are full sun areas?
Hi Denise! We address a few different soil types in the March Q&A near the end of the video. We’re hoping to dive a little deeper into the different soil types around the country in a video sometime too!! Thanks~
Jack Barnwell Design thanks I just join your channel looks like I have some catching up to do 😁 thanks for the reply and I will be sure to keep my eye out for the future content. #wonderfulmemoriesofmackinacisland
When you do your hydrangea video, please include whether or not to trim down the bushes in the fall. I live in upstate New York and have two beautiful old wood bushes and keep hearing different views. Some years they are just beautiful and other years they’re not. I was told not to cut them back and to actually leave the flowers on through the winter instead of pinching them off. It looks awful, but it is suppose to protect them through the winter. Have you ever heard of this?
Would love to hear a comparison of what you love and use in Florida, in place of your favorite Michigan plants. What ground covers do you love in Florida--instead of Sweet Woodruff? How do supertunias perform in Florida--are they just a spring annual? Etc. Live in Texas and would love to hear how you plant differently in Florida.
I'm trying to find the article you referenced a while back titled "Vindicating Vinca". I would really like to read it to be able to respond to all the negative beliefs about Vinca minor being invasive. Thanks.
Hi John~ we searched high and low for "Vindicating Vinca" but could not find that exact article. Here is the link to a similar article!

@@JackBarnwellDesign Thanks for the effort. This article helps. Love your videos. Keep it up. Have a great year of gardening.
Your accent changes from Florida to Michigan.
Does it really!?! That’s hilarious, haven’t heard that one!
Jack Barnwell Design I mean that in the best way possible! It works for you! Love your designs and the channel!
The heat and humidity make it hard to grow hydrangeas in Central Florida. I'm wondering if I could grow a Harmony oakleaf hydrangea in a good location in a aquapot. What do you think?
Yes~ I bet you could
I wished we could buy your aqua pots online.
You will be able to very soon… We will send you a message in the coming days when they are available online thanks
Agreed, especially because they are not available here in Canada yet.
Where can I get my husband a hat like Jacks???
Cool hat , how about women too
I love these q&a’s. Darke Co Ohio here. I have a czechmark weigela. Last year it put off 4 stems and I left them to grow. The 4 stems leafed out but no flowers. Now those 4 stems have no buds and new leaves are forming at the ground level. I am afraid these new leaves will form into a few branches and nothing more. Can you tell me anything else about this plant. I feel guilty ripping it out, but I am tired of it not doing anything. Thank you! 💚🌿
The lightings are much better than the last Q & A . 👏👏👏👏👏
I have a question for your next Q&A if you can. I'm tired of mowing my small sloped front lawn which is incredibly green and thick, and is a beast to get through with my reel mower (works just fine on my flat back yard). My idea is just to use lots of plants. I'm in zone 7a. Any groundcover and low shrub ideas that won't block the view of the current back flower beds would be really appreciated. I don't want to use ivy or anything that would provide a haven to rodents. Thanks!
How high could the planting be, so as not to block the view of those back beds?
@@JackBarnwellDesign Well, I guess that would depend on if I wanted to switch over to purely taller plants a the back. Right now I use alot of dahlias, hollyhocks, roses, geraniums, asters, fountaingrass, celosia, gladiolus, gardenias... the list goes on. I really like the way it looks from the road. I'm afraid if I went over two or three feet max on the slope, I would lose alot of that.
Great Q&A but ads every 3 minutes. Too often!
I didn’t realize that was the case! We‘ll change that!
