I'm a Michigander and I had NO idea the Mackinac Island houses were covered in winter. That would be a sight to watch that being done. Oh Jack, at 8:04, I can hear you saying, "hello friend". I cannot wait to see the progress. Thanks for these lovely, peaceful videos. They make me yearn to be home. Much love! ✌🏻😉💚
I could watch this type of planting and property tour all day. Such chilly beauty there while we’re in full blown summer here in North Carolina. Thanks!
I’m here in Florida, so same! It always throws me when I see him in long sleeves and a vest. Meanwhile, I can’t walk on the sidewalk barefoot because it’s lava hot. 😂🤣😂
Now I know the secret to all the beautiful flowers on the island, it’s was you Jack all along! 😊 That was always the best part of my visits over the years, the flowers throughout the island.
Can you not just feel the love and excitement jumping out as Jack talks about his work!!!!! That alone brings me joy and wishes I was young again and I would plant a lilac just to see it grow and get so big as I grow old myself.
Love this place, you have to feel like it’s your baby as it was your first. Like the way you touch the plants and trees as if they know you and they are a living thing. Thanks for the share.😁
Came over from Garden Answers channel to have a look at your work. Jack you have came a long way in 15 years lol. Anyway I enjoyed the video and will watch again. Wish we could have seen a shot of when it was all done. Thanks for sharing!!
Every time I see a suncredible in 1 of these influencers videos it makes me so sad!! I'd like to get my hands on just 1 but lil ol me can't find em ANYWHERE HAHA BOOHOO 😜Can't wait to see all this lush and blooming!! Its gonna be beautiful as usual, Jack! Keep up the great work!!! Edit: can't wait to see those lilacs especially blooming out!!
You're awesome! Thanks for behind-the-scenes peeks and fun facts. I just adore the Island and miss it. Hope to visit later this summer and it will be even more fun having been shown around already by you. Keep up the great work!
I had to watch this video again after I saw there was a fire in the Brigadoon Cottage on this mornings news. Praying all people and animals are ok and that the cottage can be repaired.
I need to replace a crabapple tree that's affected by blight (despite Prairie Fire "supposedly" being blight resistant). I was thinking of replacing it with a lilac and training it into tree form. It must bloom in May (this is a memorial tree for my sister whose birthday was in that month) and be narrow enough so as not to scratch cars in my driveway. The area is probably 10' wide. I underplanted it with a few white anemones I've let self-seed and now it's filled with the beautiful blooms every spring. Stunning! I'm in zone 4B, Minneapolis.
@@JackBarnwellDesign Wow! Kind of surreal to get a recommendation from you. I was just rewatching a video of you with Garden Answer Laura touring some of your cottage landscapes. That's a very pretty lilac. My sister would approve. Hopefully I can order one for fall delivery or buy local next spring. This year is just odd. Lack of inventory at garden centers and slow spring with some hot flashes.
I bought one of those sunflowers this year. I put it in a pot that should be adequate all summer. I’m going to save some seeds and start a bunch next summer for my deck. They are gorgeous and quite thirsty little devils. It says to water every other day, but when it gets warmer I think they may require a daily drink (at least one). You should add a pink lilac and maybe a magenta or a lavender with white border. They’ll look younger, but eventually spectacular. You should show us the colors. Mine are still blooming. My pink one is at its height with hundreds of flowers while the purple and primrose are just about finished. Do most people on the island have barns and horses etc? Will a copper beech grow on the north shore of Lake Superior as far as a Silver Bay?
I would love to know how the properties work on MI ie the homes are obviously privately owned but all the properties get landscaped and planted every year. Would love to know how it all works. Are the properties on MI strictly controlled by a local Council?
Question: what is the temperature where you are working? I’m a gardener for a living and I’m always curious why the long sleeves, pants, vest? Is this comfortable in the heat or is this to protect the skin from cancer? Or do you wear shorts and short sleeves at anytime? What’s the benefits from all the clothing in summer. I live in zone 6b where we get temperatures up in the 100’s. Would you suggest this type of clothing in those temperatures? Any particular clothing line that you can suggest!? Thanks
Hi beautiful planting - I noticed you were planting Vinca and the sunflowers, what other annuals do you use is the Island for summer color and heat resistance.
What;;s the job of the sheets on the house? Doesn't seem like they'd be much protection from weather. And they're so clean looking, so not guarding against. mud storms.
Hmm, bummer, I'm thinking this is the mansion that was on the news a few days ago that sustained over 1,000,000 in damage from a faulty chimney fire. Not so easy restoring vintage homes:). Sad day:(

Please.do a follow-up on Brigadoon Cottage and all other cottages when in full bloom. Possibly fall too! Love your videos!

Living in Georgia, I cannot fathom that late June is still considered Spring anywhere. Wow!

What a wonderful place to summer !!
Great stuff Jack. Please do a follow up so we can see how it came out.
Yes!! Definitely want to see the tri-color lilac in bloom.
I didn't know houses got covered. Makes sense. Brutal winters.
Can you not just feel the love and excitement jumping out as Jack talks about his work!!!!! That alone brings me joy and wishes I was young again and I would plant a lilac just to see it grow and get so big as I grow old myself.
Thanks for the video so good to see what is happening on the island!
If I’m not in the garden I’m watching gardening videos. I’ve become a major fan of your channel and your work. Well done.
Thanks so much!
Love this place, you have to feel like it’s your baby as it was your first. Like the way you touch the plants and trees as if they know you and they are a living thing. Thanks for the share.😁
They do know me.... 😏
So much love and dedication 💗👏🏼
And they reflect it 🌱🌻🌹
I talk to mine😁
Love the garden tour, please keep sending them our way!

We will do another vid later in season
Beautiful. You’re painting the island in beautiful color, one cottage at a time. Amazing.
Beautiful, incredible work... as usual! The Lilac trees are just stunning!
Thanks for all your tours and garden tips🦋
I didn't know a lilac could look like that..might have to try pruning one of mine that way! Beautiful work
Beautiful cottage and flowers. I never knew people covered their homes during winter.
The lake brings in crazy weather there that would destroy those historic homes if not covered. And it saves on maintenance costs.
Great tour 🌿 I heard Jack say "Y'all " at 0.41 mins ... I didn't know Michiganians said that word😉 I love it!
Love all you do Jack...Thank you for letting us have a peek at what you do!💙💙💙
Thanks for the video and sharing the green goodness.
A true artist! Lovely video!
I’m in love with your jobs!!!!!
Very cool!
what a beautiful place and cannot wait for the summer. It is glad to learn how you got your first job! Please update when it is full of colors.
Would love to see you plant up a bed from start to finish with perennials and annuals 🌼🌺🌸
Love the story about your first landscape job ....
Incredible. I have been doing quite a few shrubs into trees myself this year. I love doing it, so fun.

Same here in Texas. It's been summer for 6 weeks. HOT, HOT & GOING TO GET HOTTER.
Never get tired of seeing these videos! Such an amazing place, thanks for sharing with us 😍
Please show when the everything blooms!
Please show when that multi color tree blooms
beautiful cottage. looking forward to follow up video of Brigadoon Cottage

The plan is for a full restoration- starting in tomorrow....

Good idea! See if you can find a “monge” lilac~ it’s a great, dark purple and an easy one to train into tree form -

Gorgeous 🤩 I am so glad that the ‘show still goes on’ despite others not being able to do so! Beautiful🌸
I used to know a family that owned this property. Just amazing.
I have 3 lilacs against my house 1 lavender, one pink, and a yellow..GONNA HAVE TO TREEFORM THEM! :O
I love that idea
Excellent very beautiful
What a gorgeous grand house! Not really a cottage, lol. Look forward to seeing it all in bloom.
Awesome!
My mom loves planting

MUST see a follow up as everything fills in.
Ok!
Tell us more about winter covering of the house with plastic sheeting drapes?
Such a beautiful home and garden!! I think I need you to come help me!!!
I would love to know how the properties work on MI ie the homes are obviously privately owned but all the properties get landscaped and planted every year. Would love to know how it all works. Are the properties on MI strictly controlled by a local Council?
You need a power planter. Love those things.
Cant to see a video after everything is planted and in full bloom!
Theirs a bridge in scotland ayrshire called briga doon
Hi! Can you please tell me why there's the "curtain" on the front of the house? I've never seen that before. Thanks!

Hi beautiful planting - I noticed you were planting Vinca and the sunflowers, what other annuals do you use is the Island for summer color and heat resistance.
Where do the owners horses stay when they are away from the island for so much of the year.
Can anyone tell me the type of Copper beech tree that is.
What;;s the job of the sheets on the house? Doesn't seem like they'd be much protection from weather. And they're so clean looking, so not guarding against. mud storms.
What are the ferns in your ‘first’ garden and the one around the copper beech? Upright, not too thick, so delicate and pretty. Beautiful gardens!
Do you plant native pine trees very often?
Would you think about putting the plant names in the drop down on your videos?
Sure! We can certainly do that!!
What about Florida?
Florida in the Winter, Michigan in the Summer!
So true, but just wanted you to do some Florida gardening and container uses!!
Does it turn up one day every hundred years?😋
Sad to see the fire they had this week.
What is the purpose of winter curtains? Thanks for these videos!
Keeps the cold out.
@@phillipsmom6252 Thanks!
@@j.m.7056 👍
So can you train any variety of lilac to be a tree form? I have one I'd like to try but would hate to butcher it up. 🌞
Not any variety... but many of the syringa can be... Just do it!
Jack Barnwell Design can you replant the suckers for additional lilac trees?
Hmm, bummer, I'm thinking this is the mansion that was on the news a few days ago that sustained over 1,000,000 in damage from a faulty chimney fire. Not so easy restoring vintage homes:). Sad day:(
It will be restored and it will be glorious once again~~
Indeed:)!
@@JackBarnwellDesign almost done now!!! can't wait to see the tour of the inside and outside!!
while we all agree that Jack is good looking, i would like to see more beautiful plants and less beautiful man
:)
We are working on doing more “b roll” so we have a lot more plant shots!
both are great
