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! 🎨🌞👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@@dlasky good 👍
you can tell he loves his job- I am so happy for him!
He is proud of his work, as well as he should be.
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.
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.
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!

Laura is my favorite peep. She is truly amazing.
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!
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 😍❤️
Wow...this man knows his work and is very knowledgeable about the island! Awesome! Need to go visit! 🇨🇦
As a Michigander, who has been to mackinac island many times , I love this video
This guy is gorgeous! What an opportunity to work on the Island. He seems to really enjoy it
Wow! What a fantastic garden tour. Absolutely beautiful garden.
Beautiful Setting....and can't help but think of my favorite movie "Somewhere in Time" filmed there.
New to following Jack Barnwell. Been watching Laura since 2018.
This is what paradise looks like! Wow!
Wow, Just WOW!! Gorgeous. I'd be in heaven. I feel like I'm breathing the beautiful air just watching 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!
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!
I heard the passion and commitment but didn’t see that passion in his gardens 🌺
So gorgeous. Michigan lawns are so lush and the green is so rich. Thank you for giving us a peek. 💕
Geez, how beautiful!! Jack is super-knowledgeable about all facets of the Island. Great tour!!
I really liked the big slate stepping stones in the grass along the paths.
Stunning...simply STUNNING!
omg, I am in love with the place. A garden paradise
Gorgeous stunning beautiful
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.
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.
A beautiful tour of a magnificent garden and its surrounds.
Awesome cottages and gorgeous landscaping.
LOVE HIS HAT. WISH I COLD GROW ONE OF HIM IN THE GARDEN. WHAT A CUTIE
I would love to see this myself, so beautiful.
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 wish I could find a landscaper who is truly an artist like this guy!
You can’t be in a bad mood when you watch this video. Fabulous!!
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.
Good evening thank you ,your garden is belissimo , design is poem
What an amazing video, so love the gardens and the obvious love the landscaper has for his work.
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 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!!!
Paradise....I think of paradise when viewing these homes and gardens. Excellent tour and interview! Thank you. :)
Absolutely stunning garden
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?"
Absolutely beautiful.......on my bucket list now!!!
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.

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.
Made me laugh when he said "summer cottages", I saw some mini mansion houses but no cottages!! lol lol
