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.
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.
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!
My front yard is woodland, total shade under maple trees. It can be hard to plant in due to roots and in the fall, raking around all the plants is harder than raking grass. BUT I love my shade and garden.
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...
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.
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!
This comment was intended for a previous show and connected to the Good Hart program. Good Hart is very scenic with a tunnel of trees road into Mackinac city. Beautiful job on this residence Jack and team.
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.
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.
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 🌷🌷
Many years ago we seen Jack working in a garden on Market St. My son pointed to Jack and said “look dad he has the same pruners that you have.” Jack heard my son and came over and spoke with him. My son thought it was cool that he could work in his Indiana Jones hat.
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 😊🌻
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.
A person is using the reins and his voice to guide the horses. Horses are smarter but they must have instruction. Guiding horses to back up a trailer is harder than backing up a truck and trailer. 🙂
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?
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...
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 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
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!!!!
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.
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!
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?
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!
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.
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.
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?
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
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!
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!!!🌼🐝🦋🌸😊💖
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.
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.
Love Woodland planting that's how our place is and it's beautiful and low maintenance
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😍
Love everything you teach... good tip on the moss spores blended in. Love the horse shots as well! 🍂🌾
Another beautiful job by you and your crew. Thanks for the video. I thoroughly enjoy them.
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!
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! :)
Thanks!!
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.
Thank you~ more coming soon….
The horses are the life of the island.
Breathtaking!
Will be collecting native mosses today. Fabulous. For a shady patio. Great idea, woods right outside my door!
Gorgeous landscaping! That astilbe! 😍😍
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!
Me too🙌
My front yard is woodland, total shade under maple trees. It can be hard to plant in due to roots and in the fall, raking around all the plants is harder than raking grass. BUT I love my shade and garden.
Next year goals!!
You landscape like a dream-weaver, Jack!
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...
Should be "shaped" leaves
What a beautiful, natural look. And no mowing !!! That fire pit area is going to be their happy place. Always excellent, stunning work !!
Love your videos! Keep them coming!!
Love love love this woodland space! great fireplace too! Thanks for sharing, lol stayed to the end ;)
Beautiful and to have all those plants instead of grass! Jack you are a awesome landscaper!
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.
Loved seeing the no grass garden a year later. The horses were beautiful.
I wish we could have seen more of the finish that you briefly showed at the end! Love this!
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!
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!
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.

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.
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
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.
Woodland wonderland! So love the natural yet thoughtfully designed combination of woodland plants!
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 🌷🌷
We are headed to the Island tomorrow!!! Looking forward to seeing some of your work!

@@kevinmeyer8068 That's cool 😎!

Beautiful landscaping 🤩
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
I love the drone footage you have been using!!
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.
Thanks for the video, Jack. I think the special effects add a lot to the info and enjoyment!
i love the way the horses backed in the trailer,much better than a person could

Yes! We love wild ginger~~ another great groundcover for sure!
Another home run Jack.
And the bases were loaded.

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

We need your talent here in California ❣️
Great seeing a lot of the behind the scenes work. Your videographer is GREAT!
Love it!
Looks beautiful! I’m hoping to visit next year
💙
It looks magical ✨
Beautiful 😍
Absolutely stunning; love the stone work. All looks so natural.
Thanks, Jack, very enjoyable, wishing YOU a great day.
So pretty.
Did he make a chair from a wheel barrel? That is so creative!
My husband used to do that! Lol

Yes, just for what I think you would enjoy. It means chosen thoughtfully.😉. Sometimes Jack isn’t as good as other times.
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!
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.
We’ll do that!
❤🌿
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.
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.☺
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?
Not so much~~~ we have 🦇 ;)
Would you concider doing a job in Eau Claire Wisconsin. I would love to have you do some flagstone work
We do travel jobs yes~~
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

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!!!🌼🐝🦋🌸😊💖
These mint julep type don’t get as big- and we keep them trimmed back hard if need be~~
Does this garden have a watering system? I have discovered the hard way, trees take all the water from the earth😏 This is beautiful
It does yes~
What are the names for those ferns? They are beautiful. Great job Jack.
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.
Might be a service berry shrub
Stunning design.
What type ferns did you plant on this job?
No lawn 🙌
Thx for sharing your knowledge
Sweet little 🐿🥰🥰
Which fern did you use. Love the lime green color. Love your landscape and fire pit.
Lady fern, maidenhair fern, ostrich fern
@@JackBarnwellDesign Thank you
What boots are you wearing in this video Jack?
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.
No voles?
Sweet !!!
Nice...

Do you have deer on the Island
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.
Is it Mackinac Island or Mackinaw Island??
