swoon! this made my heart sing. that is the equivalent of my best work dream which is a project large enough that a mobile nursery is brought on site and I can just go pick everything I want to plant; 1 truck of trees and shrubs, and another filled with annuals and perennials. Happy Belated Planting Day :)
wow... your grandmother is so blessed to have you for a grandson. My happiness is a flower filled garden and a good book. She must enjoy waking up every morning and strolling thru the garden and admiring your hard work. I believe she has a water view in the back if I recall . Looking forward to seeing it all
Your videography was great! Your channel and Garden Answer are the best! Looking forward to seeing your grandma's cottage garden again. Thanks for taking us along while you work.
Jack, thank you for showing the behind the scene work that goes into the gorgeous flowers on the island! I have gone to the island for many years and am always impressed with the flowers. I appreciate the hard work that goes into this!
Omg. You live and work in my “ Happy place “. I’m soooo jealous. And you have my dream job! Lol. My husband’s great-aunt’s father was the last lighthouse keeper of Round Island lighthouse. She spent her childhood summers there. Boy, we’ve heard some stories. So of course it’s our favorite lighthouse. 😊
Watching this is literally giving me goosebumps! It’s like watching the preparation for a Royal Wedding! We’ll be up there in two weeks and I just can’t wait to see all Barnwells great artistry!
It’s a double treat to watch you all working on the Mackinaw island and also to watch the planting for your grandma. So sweet!! It is possible to see the SPECIAL LADY in one of the videos someday? Thanks Jack, can’t wait to see the flowers blooming on ur next video. Keep them coming.
Loved this video! I stopped for lunch as my HS friend was at the Iroquois this past week. It's so neat to see all the work you did to make it so delightful! Just a nice concidence, but glad I got to say hello to you. I love how you feature your team in these videos and I look forward to each one!!! Remember! One of these days, I hope you can show what you've done over at our Ferry Docks. I have so many people who request their photos taken in front of your wonderful landscaping! You're the BEST!!!!!
The hotel grounds look beautiful. Excellent drone footage and fancy editing work. Ya'll are on top of your game and ready for the new season! I remember you planting your grandma's landscape last year. I'll look forward to seeing it again perhaps next week. Have fun!
Wow that drone footage was really fun with the ship coming in to dock. Massive workload again for you guys, looks fantastic! Love your grandmothers entrance what a gorgeous gateway! Cheers!
Y’all are just putting the cherry on top of a gorgeous island. Sure would love to visit there one day. Please show us your Grandma’s flowers once planted. Great job and great team effort! 💕☀️🪴
My husband and I were there a few weeks ago to celebrate our 40th anniversary. One of our first goals was to get a photo in front of your grandma’s cool front garden entrance. It was so neat to peek in and see the work you have done that you spoke about in your video. What a beautiful place to spend your summers! We can’t wait to return! Thank you for your inspiring videos.
I remember what it looked like when that bed was destroyed. It looks fabulous now! Going into the second year it IS filling in SO nicely! Planting day anywhere is always wicked busy and fun-some stress too! LOTS of coffee!!
While watching your video, I looked up and just saw you on the island (and yelled hello from the ferryboat!) I absolutely love your work and your videos. I had no idea that my favorite house here was your grandmother's. It is spectacular!!! Thank you for blessing my eyes.
That was a wonderful video, please continue to show us what you are doing on the island. My husband and I ate lunch at the Hotel Iroquois restaurant on the patio and I was so intrigued by all of the beautiful florals. Now I know the process and the ones making it all happen. Thank you, it so beautiful.
Hi Jack! We just got home after a wonderful four days on the island, and I actually saw you buzzing by on your bike when we were sitting outside at the Mustang Lounge! We very much enjoyed visiting the proven winners garden at the Iroquois Hotel! I feel like I saw your self watering pots all over town, and they are beautiful! Have a great season up on Mackinac island ……a true little paradise on earth!
Love planting day videos! it's interesting to see how everything operates there on the island. I'm so pleased that our local nurseries are carrying more and more Proven Winners making it so much easier to find the plants that you and Garden Answer talk about. In fact I'm heading out today to go a new nursery that I found this spring hoping to find a few more plants for my summer containers.
What a manager/planner you are! It's absolutely amazing to see a team work together like you all do with the results that end up. The combos of plants are marvelous and your videos are always so enjoyable. Keep it up! I love watching. I was on the island once and it was magnificent. Ann Clark
I love Mackinac island and your planting I does. Can’t wait to see your Grandmas garden. Hope to make it up to Mackinac again this summer and see the gardens progress!
Look forward to seeing your beautiful work in person in August, Jack! Remember seeing a team working on plantings last summer & wondered about them & who all did all the amazing work - then this winter I discovered your channel. So appreciate the opportunity to connect with home & the Island from so far away! Thank you!
You knocked it out of the park! Looks absolutely fantastic, I have a picture from the covered bench looking towards the Carriage House that I’ll compare in August to see how much growth has taken place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏻
Jack, I know you don't have a lot of time to answer questions, but I was hoping maybe you could give some tips as you do a video through one of your gardens, for designing low maintenance gardens that still have wow factor. I know you sometimes mention that one of your really gorgeous gardens is very low maintenance and I would love to know what you do to purposefully make them that way. Thanks!
Love your videos! Not sure if you ever have time to answer questions but thought I would try! Do you store all of your planters and boxes indoors during the off season or are they just pulled up close to the hotel for the winter? And all of the PW pots and carriers! Do they go back to your distributor or do you just recycle? Thanks for the behind the scenes view of what you do. You're certainly living the life!
We store the terra-cotta inside, otherwise everything else is just flipped upside down in a stack next to the hotel at this property. There are about 80 different pots and boxes there to plant!
I would love to see how your professional workers prep the beds. These people do not waste time and get the job done right. For instance, at the beginning of this video, I saw the workers use large tools ( not trowels, etc.) to clean the weeds. How are the common tools used to remove weeds/ prep beds in a quick manner. Also, I saw a strange edger(?) with a bent handle. the person was not edging at that point. May we see the nitty gritty of garden prep? Thanks.
Great idea! Yes~~ can do… We use full size shovels to “pop” under weeds and leave them in place~ then when a whole area is done, another tool is used to rip and pile them~ then we can hook fresh amendment in and plant!
@@JackBarnwellDesign it is so hot in East Tennessee, when I saw you guys wearing jackets I thought the weather must be quite different! I love your videos, especially when you do things for your grandma.
It’d be cool Jack if you paid your past employees before legal fees go to your inbox. (Tyler, you can let him know) Trying to ignore is not going to work. Please tell Karen to get on it before the legal email comes to you. Looks like you can pay Tyler just fine for his editing work. Hmmmmm….
Thank you 😊
Love watching all the magic you & your crew bring to the Island 🌸
You and your crew are a well oiled machine..I like how you give them credit for their hard work..I’m sure it means a lot to them. 👍

Wow, this video is amazing! I loved seeing the process of planting for the island.
Your videography was great! Your channel and Garden Answer are the best! Looking forward to seeing your grandma's cottage garden again. Thanks for taking us along while you work.
We’ll do another tour of it soon~ everyone loves to see Grandmas Garden!
Jack, thank you for showing the behind the scene work that goes into the gorgeous flowers on the island! I have gone to the island for many years and am always impressed with the flowers. I appreciate the hard work that goes into this!
Planting up your Grandma’s house🤩❤️! Looks beautiful!
How beautiful! Love Mackinac Island, I always am in awe of the gardens on the Island. Welcome back to Heaven!
Nice drone footage! Such a beautiful island!

Hoping Mackinac has a great season!
So glad you are back on the island and planting such beautiful flowers!
So good to see your smiling face
Have a great summer on the island
The drone was awesome. We have plans to be there in July. Beautiful work.
Always enjoy your videos. You had gorgeous weather to finish your work. Makes me miss Mackinac Island.
I am enjoying all your videos... Found your channel a month or so ago... I am on a Binge watch. Cannot get enough. Keep'em coming 🤗

Thanks so much Linda! Have a great day too!
Can't wait to visit the Mackinac island and see all those beautiful gardens that you and your crew create. Love all your videos 😊

Always awesome!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see all your projects progress.
Beautifully presented Jack ❤

Thanks!!!
This was SO much fun to see the start of the planting!!! Thanks Jack & hardworking crew!!!!
The most beautiful place on earth! If they had more medical facilities I would transplant myself from lower Michigan to that area in a heart beat!
Love all your choices and designs!
Love it. Dream of working for you in my next life!!!! 😍
just gorgeous as always Jack!

Can't wait to see this garden and Mackinac in Aug-Sept. Great video as usual, Jack. Love what you do to Mackinac.

Never herd about that awsome place🤩
Did you see Somewhere in Time? That was filmed on our Mackinaw Island. Wonderful place.
I am SO EXCITED for the videos of planting and the growing season on Mackinac Island! Thank you! XOXO Heidi
My favorite video of yours every year! At the end I recognized your Grandmas house before you said anything. Maybe I should get a life huh? 😂
Look forward to seeing your beautiful work in person in August, Jack!

Love your channel because it’s so inspiring!
Just beautiful!! So fun to watch it come together!
Love to see the rest!!

Just was on the island…just magical!
Love your work, Jack👏😻
Beautiful!!
It looks amazing already. Hope I get to see it one day in person!!
Outstanding! Be at the Iroquois on Sunday and August, Soooo looking forward to seeing your work.
You knocked it out of the park! Looks absolutely fantastic, I have a picture from the covered bench looking towards the Carriage House that I’ll compare in August to see how much growth has taken place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏻
Looks awesome as always!
Such a dream job! I would love to be apart of that landscaping team!
Always hiring!!
Thanks, Jack, please rest well, see you in the next video.

I know you sometimes mention that one of your really gorgeous gardens is very low maintenance and I would love to know what you do to purposefully make them that way. Thanks!
Good call- will do a video on that specifically!
I see 0 fertilizer. You don't use it?? How are they all so beautiful 😍

What variety of geranium do you use? We were just on Mackinac. The plantings looked wonderful.
Love your videos! Not sure if you ever have time to answer questions but thought I would try! Do you store all of your planters and boxes indoors during the off season or are they just pulled up close to the hotel for the winter? And all of the PW pots and carriers!

Does anyone know what the white flowered plants are that are around the plant he is taking about? 7:37
R a good grandson!
Look forward to your videos! But the music was very distracting and you weren’t easy to hear😬
With COVID will there be tours this year on the Island?
Aren’t there disadvantages to some other plants and trees before the butterflies come alive in a garden?
Waittttttt. I was just staying at the grand hotel. Why does this get recommended to me!!!!
Is it still cold in Michigan?
In the mornings,~ it sure can be
@@JackBarnwellDesign it is so hot in East Tennessee, when I saw you guys wearing jackets I thought the weather must be quite different! I love your videos, especially when you do things for your grandma.
Really enjoy your channel. One thing though, please no music while Jack is talking. It is very hard to hear him and very distracting. Thank you.
Impressive! Y'all bust ass and get it done
So glad to see Julia Without the dred locks in her hair as her hair looked dirty & ratty like that
It’d be cool Jack if you paid your past employees before legal fees go to your inbox. (Tyler, you can let him know) Trying to ignore is not going to work. Please tell Karen to get on it before the legal email comes to you.
Looks like you can pay Tyler just fine for his editing work. Hmmmmm….
