A little piece of Heaven! 🪴🌺🌿🌺🌳🌲

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

Love the hollyhocks ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Absolutely love your videos!

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!

I love the boxwood that mirrors the curved front porch and bowed windows! Beautiful!

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!

What a STUNNING property! 😂...The 2 properties are like night and day appearance wise. All kidding aside, both properties are beautiful.

This camera man is outstanding,...the way he captures these beautiful gardens is magic!

Love Mackinac Island & the flowers!!

Thanks Jack always love to see your gardens on Mackinac Island.

That house is stunning! Love the choice of plants for this beautiful elegant lady. God bless

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.

The Island is breath taking. Thanks to both Laura and Jennie that I follow, I was able to discover you and your channel.

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 love how you touch each plant with no fear lol - you just swipe them with so much love

A shout out to Jack Barnwell, truly an ambassador of Mackinac Island. A kind, sweet gentleman.

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 😊

What a blessing to be a part of the history of Mackinac Island! Each house & garden is unique! I love those red hollyhocks!

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!

Beautiful cottage! Thanks for sharing! Love that you compliment the hollyhocks! The history of the cottages is beautiful!

Super, super stunning, for sure!

So pretty, I love the white fence. I have always wanted a white fence like that.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories and the lovely garden.

Very beautiful gardens. I hope this is what heaven looks like 💚🌿💚🙏🙏🙏 Everything is just incredible, thank you so much for sharing. 💚

Great tour. Love the holly hock story. !!

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!

Your family was greatly blessed with landscaping and gardening talents. Just absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing these videos.

That is gorgeous. Love hearing your family history. I can understand why you love it so much. A lot of fantastic memories.

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

Love the tour!!’

Love these videos- the gardens and homes are spectacular and really appreciate all the history and fun facts that you share with the viewers !

Mackinaw reminds me of where I grew up in Northville Michigan, Historical district...👍🙂❤️🇺🇸

That was so awesome

Another absolutely stunning property. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the Island. 🌺

Thank you. What a neat garden tour. Fun to hear the history of the house & your family.

Wow what a beautiful home and garden!!

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. 🍑

Nice little walkabout on a Tues evening, thanks for putting it together. Enjoyed the drone views of your Grandmothers place too.

Thank you for sharing such a lovely place with us.

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!

Green with envy, well done!

Gorgeous home! Love Victorian old homes! Beautiful garden Jack! Next year will be more filled in, stunning! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🤗

Hope to meet you at the Grand Garden Show Jack. Always enjoy your videos.

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! :)

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.

Stunning 🤩, beautiful ❤️

Wonderful tour...love the combination of close ups of plants with drone shots of the landscape. Well done!

Beautiful! Thank you,

I always have loved that front gate. So beautiful!

Beautiful house and gardens🥰

Jack, you lucky dog! I can't wait to see it all up close and in person next week 🥰

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!

Just beautiful!!! How incredibly lucky are you and your family?!?!

Do more videos Jack 📹 you deserve more exposure than what you're getting.

Absolutely stunning 😍!!! I love the aerial views! It puts everything in perspective so wonderfully!!! Your family is so blessed! I love your videos!!!

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!

You are truly blessed, living this storybook life. Thanks for sharing.

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

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.

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.

Lovely and kudos to you and your family for their hard work! It was nice hearing the family history behind the house.

Beautiful!

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!

I would love to learn more about ground covers in perennial beds/borders. Love your gardens!

“Laced it out” - thanks for teaching me about this technique.🌸

Love to hear the history of those gorgeous “cottages “🍃🌿💕

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!

Very beautiful! One of his best videos!!

In my world, this is not a small cottage.

Very very beautiful🌿🌿🌿👌👌👌

Beautiful!! ❤

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.

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!

HELLO JACK YOUR GRAND MOMA HOME IS AMAZING BREATH TAKING

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!

Fantastic 🌺

🍅🫑👨‍🌾☀️🌻🐝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!

❤ 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?

😍😍😍

What a beautiful place, but would love to see the inside.

New subscriber!

Much simpler and minimalistic than i was expecting. Didn't get any ideas. Oh well.

Is that the house you grew up in?

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.
