I think I’m watching him more than the gardens ❤️

I admire someone that has passion for his or her work. You also did a great job of not upstaging him but rather added to the tour gracefully.

Somehow in my binge watching GA i missed these tours with Jack Barnwell, WOW!!!!! What a life he is living preserving such beauty and continuing to make it beautiful! You can tell his genuine love for the island! Definitely a bucket list location!!!

They made the landscape look like it's been there forever.

I think i have a crush on that landscape guy. I almost looked at him more than the gardens haha 😍

What an expert in Jack Barnwell!!!! Both of you together speaking is a wealth of information! Thank you!!!!!

This video is so professional. I felt like I was watching a segment from "This Old House." I can't believe how young and knowledgeable he is. And have his own landscape buisness with 200 customers. I could live in that little cottage that was shown at 16:30.

You work so well with Jack.....you NEVER try to out shine him. You are just an amazing lady!!!

How beautiful, just the fact that the homes are so well preserved coupled with those beautiful gardens. They truly don't build 'em like that anymore. Love the shaded path and steps in the first house, just like a forest from a fairytale.

I live here in Michigan and been visiting Mackinac Island for many years. Every time I go I see something new. It’s a beautiful Island.

I'm getting a glass of wine tonight, throwing this up on the big screen and watching for hours, all the tours. I'm loving this

Very handsome and polite man, thanks Laura.

Wow! Thank you so much to Jack Barnwell and yourself for touring us through such beautiful gardens! I would love to see them personally. He is definitely a talented landscaper!!!

Spectacular tour Jack, Laura and Aaron. What beauty you've brought to those gardens Jack. Certainly a thrill to see it all put together. Strikingly impressive how it's all put together. Thank you!

Just amazing! Thank you for sharing! You can tell he is very, very passionate about his work.

Wowoweeee....I enjoyed this garden tour!

Jack Barnwell is on his way to becoming a "National Treasure", I always love seeing what him and his team do. Thanks for sharing.

wow...this stroh cottage garden is way much better than the garden hotel. so nice. Fantastic job by this Jack Barnwell company. It's done so seamlessly...

Wow, what a breathtaking view all around! I never thought about all the maintenance required for the homes in such severe cold! Thank you for the tour!

Oh to be able to afford a cottage there. So gorgeous!

Wow! What a treat to get a tour of the yards of two of cottages. I loved hearing about the history and culture of the Island. It's now on my bucket list.

Absolutely breathtaking! Adding the island to my bucket list for sure~

Well, i absolutely loved watching all of this. And the guy too!😂❤️😊

Oh my God!!! This is just stunning!!! They created the landscape in a way that you think it's been there for ever!!! Jack and his team made an amazing job!!! It's like you have time traveled 120 years ago!!! Thank you for the video Laura and Aaron!!! By the way I love that little belly!!! Greetings from Greece!!!

I need Jack Barnwell in my life. Thank you laura and Aaron for showing and letting us know more about the island and Jack for all the great information he gave to you and us. Ohh and Proven Winners. Thank you!

Aww Jack is so precious!

What an incredible tour!! This guide was wonderful. Thank you for bringing him on to share so much information with us!

OMG!!! How beautiful. A lot of fascinating info in such a small grand tour. He was great to listen to. Will definitely need to visit there some day. Thanks so much Laura and Aaron for a great job.

Aw this is the video I wanted to see, I got busy with family things and missed a few months....but these gardens are gorgeous! Outstanding!! I would love to live there...except for the cold winters. I love that they use animals and not cars, when I was a child this would have been my dream place. But now that I'm older, I'm not so sure I could stand the winters.

Ok...he's adorable & fun how passionate he is about flowers & gardening. The cottage gardens are amazing. Great tour...

I visited and explored the island every summer growing up through the 50’s and 60’s. As a parent my husband and I shared this unique and beautiful island with our 5 children. Now they feel as I do that we have ownership in the island. The gardens have never been as magnificent as they are now under Jack’s gifted vision.

That's got to be be some really fresh air you would be breathing in.

Great tour! Laura, you are a great interviewer! Beautiful shot Aaron! Thanks for taking us along!

That is absolutely stunning and so colorful for the zone 4!!! I like how they played with all shades of greens in the landscape... pretty clever!

Beautiful! One of my favorite trips was to the island and I love Jack's enthusiasm for his job!

He could be a meusem tour guide if he wanted to. He explained the island so completely in detail.

Oh my God I fell in love with that place. I should move to Michigan.💍

Just breathtaking. Who could imagine living in such beauty?

Thanks so much for the tour! I live in London, England but my husband is from northern Wisconsin and has relatives in Michigan's UP. I've not ventured there so it's lovely to see northern Michigan.

Peace in the valley 😊😊😊

This video is everything! The camera angles, the interview, the tour, the host and most specially the garden! I wish I could wake up there everyday ❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing! My sister took my Mom and Dad there back in the 80's and they loved it then too. Such a Beautiful place.

How wonderful to see such a young guy with so much knowledge and love and interest for the property.

Omg, I love this video. I'm going to watch this over and over again. The landscape is awesome. Love it

He needs his own youtube channel ; so much knowledge. Another great video Laura.

Wow. Dream job. Stunning doesn't even do justice.

Laura, thanks for taking us on such a beautiful tour. The Gardens are absolutely breathtaking. I can't stop watching the video.

That is the most beautiful garden I have ever seen ! What a dream it would be to have a yard like this. Kudos to the landscaping team, simply amazing!

Wow my mind is blown! What a unique place with unique gardens. For some reason it reminds my of Anne of Green Gables.

Okay, so we went to Mackinaw Island because of this video. My husband and I grew up in MI but now live in NC. We still have family in the lower Peninsula but wanted to see the Upper Peninsula. We stopped at this house on Mackinaw Island and took pictures!! I was so excited! REALLY beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!!

This is stunning.

So Beautiful~ more than I could have imagined. Love, love, love the tour and history. thanks so much for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful‼️

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks Laura & Jack for the tour! I was on Mackinaw Island when I was a little girl and have it on my list to go back to!

Everything is so beyond beautiful!!!! I loved the tour!! Thank you!! I am curious as to how they mow all of those beautiful lawns without gas powered mowers or tractors. Also, I hope you and Aaron do install one of those waterfalls!!! I would love to see the process from start to finish!! Again, thank you!!

Love riding bikes around Mackinac Island and eating all of the yummy fudge!! So beautiful!!

Dream garden, a path of beauty

Awesome.......Awesome........Awesome!!!!!!!💚💚💚💚💚💚Thanks for another great tour🌲🌸🌲🌺🌲🌸🌲🌺🌲

Lifestyles of the rich & famous!!!!!!!!!!

These gardens are beyond Beautiful!!

Heavenly. On my bucket list for sure. Thanks for taking us on the tour, Laura, Aaron and Jack.

Your response when he said gazebo. I could see you doing a whole series of these tours. Awesome for you sharing.

Super..... Loved the tour so much.....

LOL...You didn't disappoint me.....I thought for a minute you wern't going to touch that hydrangea...BUT you did. lol

That's the best fixer-upper of ever seen in my life!

I need to move into a cooler climate so I could have a garden like that. Absolutely stunning. I live in the desert of California where it got to 115 this summer. Yesterday was 110 degrees cooled off to 100 at 10:00 last night. I'm planning my move as I write.

Yeah, he's really cute, and best of all, is knowledgeable about plants!!

Love, Love the Island!!! My dream was to visit it. I will never forget how beautiful it is. I spent a lot of time walking by these gorgeous homes ❤️ Of course the Grand Hotel is amazing too. Thank you so much for your wonderful tour. Now I want to go back. Kind of hard as I’m in California. Maybe someday.

This was so enjoyable. It's fantastic what Jack Barnwell has created there. I enjoyed learning the story about the properties and it's really hard to believe that the landscaing he put in at the Stroh house is only a few years old. We have a similar landscape zone mix but this is a tad bit colder. It's amazing how well the hydrangeas do considering the harshness of the winters there. I'm in Traverse City and have worked to create a flow with my plants as we walk along the garden path to our patio area and found some great inspiration from his work. Thank you for showing this!

you are in my neck of the woods. We are heading up to our cottage tomorrow which is a little over an hour south of Mackinac Island. The island is such a special place and something Michigan is very proud of .

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!! Its crazy they did all that by hand! I love all the detail in the old cottages, what a stunning place to live. It's so cool they get around with horses and bikes. Thank you for sharing this, Laura and Jack! I had never heard of Mackinaw Island before, I definitely want to visit someday!

I love his enthusiasm for the beauty. 😍 Awesome!

Beautiful the garden just flows so beautiful pleasing to the eye.just gorgeous

I so want to go to this place one day,, It is gorgeous. He made even the coldest days there sound inviting talking about hybernating with a good book.

Love all these videos. Have spent an entire evening watching.

Beautiful!!! Especially love that waterfall!! With a volume??!!! SWEET

Wonderful! Thank you Laura, Jack, and Aaron! I will watch this again and share with friends.

Lovely break from difficult hurricane news.

Beautiful!!! Mackinaw Island is a very special place to me - we got married and had our reception at the Grand Hotel. Red Geraniums and lilac always remind me of that very special day.

Goodness - Talk about Paradise on Earth, so so lovely! - Wonderful tour. Thanks so much for sharing this Laura and Jack. All Good Blessings to the two of you - Barbara White

Wow!!! I have got to go and visit there!!! It is so stunning and man Jack Barnwell definitely knows his stuff.. his designs and work is amazing!!!

Just found Jack Barnwell Design youtube channel.... :) Thank you Laura for introducing us to this designer.

Thank you for taking us on tours of other gardens! I find fresh inspiration from each one! I love your garden and how we get to see it take shape project to project, and season to season but there is also enjoyment to be found in touring "finished" gardens!

Thank you for a fantastic tour. What a beautiful place. And plants, flowers beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous 🌸 have fun and hope you and Aaron get to relax a little.

Heavenly!

What a treat! Love the tour. Wish I have the vision of making landscapes so beautiful.

OMG !! Thank you, Thank you, for showing us those beautiful Gardens and scenery love, love, it .. Made my day and took me back in time😀🌸🌸

so beautiful

I'm so pleased to have found your channel. I started by watching your demonstration of planting bulbs. Excellent tour of this stunning landscaped properties. Makes one want to visit! Thank You.

This took my breath away!!!

I went there as a child every summer

I grew up on the west bluff with family friends- cottage all the way at the top of the hill ❤️

Beautiful! I love the combination of the reds and purples in this garden.

That was was beautiful- l would love to see more cottage garden tours. The tour guide was very interesting. Thanks for sharing the island.

That is so, so interesting! And it's so nice to see people so much into their work, not only in this video, but other Tous too. Young people, who obviously love what they do, and really have something to say about it. Sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect, but I do hope you understand what I mean.

Beautiful

What an amazing garden. Absolutely stunning thanks for taking the time to show us. I absolutely love this video.

The WHOLE video was nice, especially the walk behind Aaron did.. As I clear my throat!

Breathtaking! His passion shows through his work and his detailed descriptions. Will definitely follow him on fb
