Love Woodland planting that's how our place is and it's beautiful and low maintenance

The horses are the life of the island.

Brilliant techniques for planting the ground-covers and green joinery. Thank you!

your videos are sooo chilled and calming, but super engaging at the same time😍

Your vision is inspiring. The editing has come a long way since your 1st videos, good job

So smart with the ground cover plants! Beautiful plants!

Breathtaking!

Gorgeous landscaping! That astilbe! 😍😍

Another beautiful job by you and your crew. Thanks for the video. I thoroughly enjoy them.

Love your videos! Keep them coming!!

Will be collecting native mosses today. Fabulous. For a shady patio. Great idea, woods right outside my door!

This property is the most beautiful and natural makeover I have ever seen. I would give up green grass if I had the possibility of a woodland area on my property. You make miracles happen!

What a beautiful, natural look. And no mowing !!! That fire pit area is going to be their happy place. Always excellent, stunning work !!

You are always so entertaining. Enjoy every video you put out. Keep them up. So calming in this world of turmoil. Add more tours if various garden bith up north as nd down in the south when you are in Florida. Keep up the good work.

Hi Jack! Another Breathtaking Landscape Job!! I love how much YOU love what you do!! Have a wonderful day and I will see you in the next one! :)

Great! We love pacasandra....had it in the yard of the first house we bought in Cleveland Ohio over 50 years ago. The previous owner had put it in......it was the greatest ground cover....like a carpet of beautiful dark green, beautifully snapped leaves and would also get small little tiny flowers in part of the year...

You landscape like a dream-weaver, Jack!

Love love love this woodland space! great fireplace too! Thanks for sharing, lol stayed to the end ;)

Beautiful landscaping 🤩

Woodland wonderland! So love the natural yet thoughtfully designed combination of woodland plants!

Beautiful and to have all those plants instead of grass! Jack you are a awesome landscaper!

I get a lot of enjoyment watching the horses as well as the humor Jack adds to each show. I love Mackinac Island. Jack helps keep it so beautiful.

This was so great to see the property after 1 year. As always, I really enjoyed your video! I'm a Michigander and your videos are so helpful!

Very cool showing us how you install your work. Thank you

Loved seeing the no grass garden a year later. The horses were beautiful.

Just fabulous Jack! It's always a challenge to make woodland gardens to first appear authentic....as if they were always there. You guys' work is perfection! Thanks for sharing.

Keep them coming Jack…

I love the drone footage you have been using!!

That's some good looking soil😁😁😁😁😁 Love the ending!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 If you don't have fun while working the day gets very very long...😁 God bless

That was a very short lunch break. Loved the idea of the moss "cement" just genius. But my favourite part was seeing the chipmunk (I think that's what it was as we do not have them in Australia). Love from sunny Sydney.

What a dream to have soil like that! I have hard clay!!!

I LOVE those down lights! Jack you are certainly the KING of ground covers I have learned SO much from you and intend to use what I’ve learned in my little garden! The video with drone shots is SPECTACULAR, keep those coming please!

Thank you for showing us the update! I remember watching this yard get planted and wondered if we’d see it again. Absolutely stunning work.

Gorgeous plus I’m really liking the lunch time Italian music in the background 😂. You are an amazing group and you beautify everything. The owners of these cottages are so fortunate to have you all 🌷🌷

Another home run Jack. And the bases were loaded. Grand Slam by Jack Barnwell Designs.

Looks Beautiful!!

Beautiful setting!

We are headed to the Island tomorrow!!! Looking forward to seeing some of your work!

Well made video. Thank you!

I love the low maintenance in this garden, I'm approaching retirement, this garden has definitely given me some food for thought, thank you for sharing, be well and I'll look forward to your next video 😊🌻

So beautiful you do a fabulous job love watching every project you do keep sharing 🌿❤️

🥂 looks great.....

I wish we could have seen more of the finish that you briefly showed at the end! Love this!

i love the way the horses backed in the trailer,much better than a person could

Really nice Jack! Such nice environment to work in! You guys work very hard but are truly blessed to be in such a beautiful place! Hugs

So glad you went back to show us, I loved what you did with this garden. I'm guessing the wildflower back garden is lovely now too. The camera person did a really great job, I liked how they got down with you and close to plants you pointed out.

Thanks for the video, Jack. I think the special effects add a lot to the info and enjoyment!

This may be your best, most informational video yet! From landscape planning from trees to ground cover, to incorporating bulbs and cover perennials, to appropriate down lighting (light pollution, ugh), to harvesting moss, I learned a great deal! I live in the woods of SW Michigan 6 months and just north of Naples 6 months where I plan to grow orchids on palms next year. Keep this type of videos coming Jack!!

Beautiful 😍

Wonderful design as always. Thanks for sharing

Love it!

We need your talent here in California ❣️

Great video. I love how you not only show the landscape, but also share lots of little tips along the way. I wish I would have known to mulch before planting ground covers before I planted. Do you ever use Canadian wild ginger as a ground cover? That has become one of my favorites. It has a largish leaf, the deer leave it alone, it spreads well without being invasive and shades out weeds really well. It's just about perfect. The flowers are hidden under the leaves and are not showy, but who needs flowers?

Keep the videos coming Jack! Throughly enjoyable with a lot of useful information. Thanks so much to you and Cletus!

Just Beautiful 🌼

Wow! Only a year old and it looks amazing. I love that there is no grass to mow anywhere. Just an awesome design and layout. The fire pit area will fit in so nicely. Great job! You have a great team working with you. Hugs! I would love to visit there some day.

Yes, just for what I think you would enjoy. It means chosen thoughtfully.😉. Sometimes Jack isn’t as good as other times.

What a beautiful video, thank you for sharing your work 🪴🌺

Fabulous ideas, Jack. So genius, but lots of work!!! I would love to enjoy such a shady garden with a woodland feel. Moss detail is cool too! Enjoy the process on your beloved magical isle...

Such a great video, thank you for sharing.

Beautiful explained video of what you do and why! I now understand that my ground covers need to have compost and fertilizer mixed in for them to spread better. Also, the plant bubble that pops up is very helpful just wish the image was larger

The completed project is BEAUTIFUL! GREAT JOB CREW!

It looks magical ✨

So pretty.

OH my gosh! Ok,..this was Awesome Jack,...and it really NEEDS to be said: YOUR CAMERA MAN IS OUTSTANDING!!! His footage is genius , so successful in bringing to us, both the big and small picture of your projects! Such a talent!! IT has really brought your videos from good to FABULOUS!!!!

Thanks, Jack, very enjoyable, wishing YOU a great day.

Beautiful,you have such good ideas. Look forward to more videos.

Great seeing a lot of the behind the scenes work. Your videographer is GREAT!

Absolutely stunning; love the stone work. All looks so natural.

Hi Jack! Everything is just beautiful! I really like the firepit area and the pathway to it. You and your team/crew so excellent work. Your videographer is top notch, too. Loved the blooper at the end. Thank you so much for sharing!

Love everything you teach... good tip on the moss spores blended in. Love the horse shots as well! 🍂🌾

We’re on the island for a wedding at Mission Point this weekend and walked past your grandmother’s house this afternoon. So fun to walk around the island and try to spot your designs. The Iroquois Hotel is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing our beautiful Mackinac Island with the world.

💙

We just had a large aquascape pondless waterfall put in next to our flagstone fire pit here in mid Michigan. It looks so similar to your fire pit and things. We need to finish landscaping in our huge backyard next summer. I love your ideas. Would love for you to pop in sometime, if you could?

Looks beautiful! I’m hoping to visit next year

thank you for this video! I"m doing a flagstone Tuscan like area under my sugar maples since grass doesn't grow well anyway. I have natural moss from my yard that I am going to use. I appreciate knowing how to propagate it for between the stones.

Did he make a chair from a wheel barrel? That is so creative!

Great to see the property a year later. It has definitely become even more beautiful. Maybe we can even see it again next year! What kind of ferns are the yellow green ones that have an upright form? Great choice of plants as usual!

I was curious if all (or any) of the elaborate gardens require irrigation? That seems like the hardest part and ALL landscaping in southern CA require irrigation. It would be SO nice to live somewhere it wasn't necessary.

That soil looks wonderful. 🪱 Have you toured the "soil factory" before? I'd be interested in seeing how it's all made on, and "recycled" back into the island.

❤🌿

Would you concider doing a job in Eau Claire Wisconsin. I would love to have you do some flagstone work

Looks beautiful but the mosquitos and other biting insects are gonna love that fire pit area as well -unless you don't have that problem on MacKinac Island?

Jack, I've watched this several times. I love the idea of underplanting Spring bulbs. I could swear when I watched it once, you mentioned paper whites under hydrangeas (I can't find that part now). I can't find ANY info on planting paper whites in a landscape, everything is about forcing them to bloom indoors in Winter. Did you really underplant hydrangeas with paper Whites? If they work in U.P., they'll work where I am in central Wis. I'd love a video about underplanting with bulbs, as well as ground cover to suppress weeds and make mulching every year unnecessary. Thanks!

Would love to know what variety of Juniper that was at the beginning in amongst that lovely natural planting scheme of ferns, hosta and astilbe etc.☺

Does this garden have a watering system? I have discovered the hard way, trees take all the water from the earth😏 This is beautiful

No lawn 🙌

What are the names for those ferns? They are beautiful. Great job Jack.

That ending was so funny. LOL! I learned something about using & distributing the moss. Cool idea! DO YOU HAVE ANY NICKNAMES? Mac Jack? Island Jack? Barnwell Does Well! :D :D :D

I guess my caladium isn’t so special if you look at the white ones at the beginning of this video. I remember when they were just placing the boulders for this yard.

Very nice! Please consider not using vinca which spreads to woodlands and squeezes out native species plants. It is very invasive and spreads underground so very difficult to get rid of. Otherwise so beautiful.

How big do the junipers get? Are they going to overgrow their space?😊💖I used to have one, it was 9 or 10 foot wide. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gardens!!!🌼🐝🦋🌸😊💖

Stunning design. What type ferns did you plant on this job?

What is the 6ft. shrub behind you when you're talking about the astilbe at 4:50? I need some woodland shade screening plants. I'm zone 7B/8A. Love the pathway and woodland patio. Can't wait to see more.

What boots are you wearing in this video Jack?

Which fern did you use. Love the lime green color. Love your landscape and fire pit.

Sweet !!! Nice... Volt Landscaping LED lights Check it out !!! #1 fan from Pittsburgh

No voles?

Do you have deer on the Island

Is it Mackinac Island or Mackinaw Island??
