A water fountain would be beautiful in the that spot, either free standing or a wall mount . Thank you for sharing Jack, your memories are as wonderful as the garden 😊
A purple smoke bush would be a nice pop of color amongst all the green. I enjoy all the beautiful things you show us, but I'd love it if you show us maintenance (not always the most fun) as well. Inevitably, we all have to do it.
Lovely tour and and a stunningly beautiful home. I imagined coffee in the morning on that deck, sunning in the afternoon on that deck, and drinking a glass of wine in the evening on that deck and realized I could just live on that deck. Priceless memories I'm sure of time spent there growing up. I think you need a tree or bush with a different texture and darker foliage than the fronting hydrangeas. Maybe a black lace elderberry or a Japanese Lace maple? Cheers
Maybe you could show a video of what it takes to plan out a garden space with/for a business, show your team plant it up and get the reaction from the business after completion.Thanks.
I really really enjoy this tour. Your grandma house is beautiful. It just like out of fairytale book. Of course it is you and your team hardwork that make this happen. And I love how you show us how it look when back in May. Wow just wow.
What a beautiful location! Just go out back, sit on a rock and dip your feet in the lake! Cool 😎 🆒️ I love Japanese Maple trees so I would pop that in that space for sure!
What a lovely property Jack, with a fabulous garden and view. You are a lucky person to be living on such a beautiful island and doing what you are so passionate about, creating these wonderful gardens and bringing joy to all those who behold . God bless.
Thank you so much for this tour. I remember hoping you'd be back while watching the first video. Grandmas' garden must be why you became a landscaper, growing up in that garden had to of been magical, it's just so incredible Wonderful. I think if there's enough sun in that empty spot, a pink Buddleia would be lovely against the grey shingles
Thanks Jack for the tour of your Granny’s home… BEAUTIFUL❣️ Look forward to seeing Granny’s house on our visit the Island… what if you put one of your self watering planters with an obelisks in it and maybe a sonic bloom wegeilia as always thx for taking us along on your journey through your landscaping design journey… Feel So blessed to be along on the ride. Always pray good things for you and your life ❤️🌷
I love the moon gate with the climbing hydrangea! Just a beautiful place! How about a spice viburnum or a dogwood. Thanks for sharing your grandmother's garden and views. Loved when you said your grandma was the sweetest woman in the world!
WOW! You are really lucky! My Gramma lived in an old farmhouse with no running water or plumbing, but she had a nice garden and it was a cozy fun place.
Coming to the party late, but I think something with a yellow foliage color in that spot under the columnar beech would be stunning, maybe something like a Sambuca 'Lemon Lace' or a Aralia 'Sun King.' Would love to see something with a more feathery leaf texture there too.
Love this garden and a Japanese Maple would be lovely. However, I would also consider putting in a smokebush. The Velvet Fog or Winecraft Gold would be stunning from PW.
What an incredibly special heritage you have! Thank you for sharing! Found your videos a few days ago & just keep watching as it's such a special place to me. I grew up in Michigan, visiting Mackinac Island, & always admired your grandmother's home with the beautiful cedar shake siding (right next to library I think)! So special to get to see the front of this beautiful house! Years ago I also worked at Mission Point Resort in Convention Services. When I come home from Colorado in the summer we visit & stay on the island. Fun now to know who makes these beautiful gardens a reality! All the best in the 2021 season!
Wow! I'm so glad you returned to show us your grandmother's lake house in the summer when everything has filled in. It is stunning! I hope to walk by when Proven Winners renews its Grand Garden Show in 2021. Would love to meet your grandma in the next video. I think a limelight hydrangea or quick fire hydrangea would do well next to the house when you clean out that tree in the front. Either one would lighten up that area and the blooms would be a nice contrast against the house.
Gorgeous place. Thanks for the tour Jack. You could put Sun King Aralia or something with purple foliage in the spot at the end of the video. A nice pop of darker foliage would be really pretty. Purple smoke bush, tuxedo weigela, or if it gets enough sun a black lace elderberry.
Lovely property. I would leave the honey suckle where it is and put a fountain in the other spot. I live on P.E.I. Canada and we have The Confederation Bridge which joins the eastern Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, making travel throughout the Maritimes easy and convenient. The curved, 12.9 kilometre (8 mile) long bridge is the longest in the world crossing ice-covered water, and continues to endure as one of Canada’s top engineering achievements of the 20th century. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe a Japanese Maple and some variegated Jacobs Ladder alongs with some hydrangeas? Seems to be a shady spot and all of these would certainly POP against the dark house. Would love to meet your granny and hear a couple stories of this home.
Can you do a pruning video when you prune the climbing hydrangea? Just show how hard you’d prune it back and then a time lapse of you pruning it? Thank you for sharing! PS Any chance your Grandma would let you do a video where you give us a house tour like Garden Answer occasionally does? 🙏🙏🙏 The architecture is so unique and amazing!
Thank you Jack and your grandmother for sharing the garden! I i’m still hoping for that day, when we can ‘cross the border’ again to visit this beautiful island and the beautiful work that you and your crew do! 🇨🇦
lovely tour. My dream would be to live on water. I love the sound of crashing waves. I live right near a lake in Iowa but houses cannot be built on the lake but I can still go to the marina and enjoy. You are satisfying my Mackinac Island dreams until I can get back there again.
How about a Hydrangea tree in that space? Lovely place, hoped Granny was going to make an appearance. 👵 Loved seeing the cedar shake aged appearance. We used it on a portion of our house and patiently waiting for it to age.
So much color and majesty look amazing... maybe you will find some beautiful vine like clematis or some climbing!!! But for sure wherever you decide will be glorious
Hi Jack, I really love your videos. I learn so much. :-) I think my vote is for some type of water feature also. That would look so Charming tucked away in there under that beech tree. I have a question for you. I am looking for something different to plant on the east corner of my house. I have several hydrangeas and a Japanese maple on the east side and I'm looking for something different. The space I have would be up to 4 foot wide and could go as high as 4 foot tall maybe five. I have seen several different plants you have showcased and thought I would ask your advice. Thanks!
No wonder you are so great with gardening....your grandma's house is beautiful! Fortunate you came from a wealthy family, the island looks so peaceful and beautiful!!!! You must do well from the commercials in these videos, but your videos are great and informal
Beautiful...Love, love, love!!! Why remove those day lilies though? If they can survive there let them be! Softens the rock edge and give a nod to the old garden border. 😊
Beautiful garden and home. I Love mackinaw Island! I live in West Michigan near Lake Michigan and will need to plan a trip in 2021 will take a pic by your granny’s gate. Beautiful!
I would like to see some red leaf Japanese maples also, and maybe some ferns. I didn't see any Fern from the property, and there's a lot of different variety of change times which I think would be more than perfect. Also you mentioned your grandma is a senior, I really didn't see very many teak benches out in the garden, my garden is never complete until you've got seating to take him all the different views of the Horticulture and Mother Nature. Also in that area I think a large bird bath to be appropriate, something concreted into a base Foundation so it could withstand the storms.
Amazing house and garden! How about a snowball bush for that gap? Or something winter green? - And how about some irises, or some reed-like plants for the water front?
Great suggestion, but she has so many hydrangeas already, that we would rather go with something different~ perhaps a spring blooming “forest pansy” redbud.... is what I am currently thinking!
Thanks for taking us back to your grandma’s wonderful house and garden. Would have loved to see photos of the lilac and hydrangea in full bloom. Must have been amazing!
Hi, some plant suggestions for the free space: 1. Clematis on the wall would be beautiful, but because it's made of wood probably not possible. 2. From the free spot to the removed honeysuckle either a row of thalictrum delavayi, tall anemones, or cimicifuga. 3. On the free place on wich your standing in the video, beside the bench: hibiscus 'blue bird', a butterfly bush, limelight hydrangea (maybe in tree shape), a syringa palibin as shrub/bush, or a lot of hollyhocks e.g. in lemon yellow, or yellow or orange/apricot tall Roses ( e.g. 'Arabia', 'Westerland'). Sorry for mistakes in English.
@@JackBarnwellDesign I was not expecting that you answer me. Thank's! 😊 I will watch the video. I'm curious wich plants you had in mind and wich you plant in the end.
Put in another cool apple tree. Is your grandmother ever worried the waves / water will over take her cottage? It’s such a peaceful looking place. Really enjoyed the update on your grandmas property.
Thank you, Jack for that beautiful summer tour. I've seen many of your tours with Laura from Garden Answer, that's how I came here. I remember your May tour and thinking that I can't wait to see the garden in its summer bloom. Thanks for showing the May photos alongside. Interesting that the water has so quickly come up to the edge of the garden. Your face lights up when you talk about your granny, and especially when you recount the story of her lining up to wait to enter her own home so that wedding couples can take photos outside the climbing hydrangea. Just magical. Would love to see a tour inside her house. Thanks again.
Can't EVEN imagine how cool it must have been for Jack to grow UP on Mackinac Island. A dream come true.
Absolutely beautiful! My dream is to visit the island and see all the gardens and cottages in your video. Thanks for sharing, Jack!
Go in summer to see the gardens. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
My dream also!!
A water fountain would be beautiful in the that spot, either free standing or a wall mount . Thank you for sharing Jack, your memories are as wonderful as the garden 😊
Lovely tour of one of my favorite properties on the island. I love the gaura in the containers.
I was wondering if that was gaura! Thanks Erin. Now I know.😀
Granny’s home is absolutely stunning! What a beautiful home and location! I’m loving her property. I can see why it’s photographed often.
In the corner a limelight hydrangea would be beautiful. Gorgeous property.
This is going on our list of places to go as soon as travel is safe again! Thanks for this video!
A purple smoke bush would be a nice pop of color amongst all the green. I enjoy all the beautiful things you show us, but I'd love it if you show us maintenance (not always the most fun) as well. Inevitably, we all have to do it.

What a beautiful location! Just go out back, sit on a rock and dip your feet in the lake! Cool 😎 🆒️ I love Japanese Maple trees so I would pop that in that space for sure!
I am suggesting a various line of 2 or 3 tier ball, columnar or spiral topiaries lining the walls would be an evergreen color for contrast!
What a lovely property Jack, with a fabulous garden and view. You are a lucky person to be living on such a beautiful island and doing what you are so passionate about, creating these wonderful gardens and bringing joy to all those who behold . God bless.
Granny's home and garden are so BEAUTIFUL
That hydrangea does create a very dramatic entrance. Great tour of an amazing garden.😊😊🇨🇦
Beautiful tour. I think something with purple leaves maybe black lace elderberry 🦋

Would love to see the hydrangea perhaps in full bloom. I can imagine how beautiful it must be
Jack, you were blessed beyond dreams to grow up in a place like that, very special!
Red sand cherry would be great behind that beech tree, its very hardy and beautiful and doesn’t get enormous.
I love the moon gate with the climbing hydrangea! Just a beautiful place! How about a spice viburnum or a dogwood. Thanks for sharing your grandmother's garden and views. Loved when you said your grandma was the sweetest woman in the world!
So charming, My vote is for a trellis with climbimg roses or clematis.
Some pink or white Cleome would be lovely! Nice contrast to the massiveness of the tree!
Next time show us the purple in full bloom!! 🌸 and that hydrangea arch too. Blooms please! Love it. Cheers
I love Mackinaw Island and I totally want to live in your Grandma's beautiful garden. Great job!
Loved this video!!! Thank you for sharing your grandmother's garden treasures - I loved that you showed the before and after !!! Awesome
Spectacular older garden and beautiful house.
WOW! You are really lucky! My Gramma lived in an old farmhouse with no running water or plumbing, but she had a nice garden and it was a cozy fun place.
A red bud would be a pretty stair step down in that empty spot and the purple color would work well with the garden.
Thanks for the tour of your grandmothers garden. Enjoyed
Coming to the party late, but I think something with a yellow foliage color in that spot under the columnar beech would be stunning, maybe something like a Sambuca 'Lemon Lace' or a Aralia 'Sun King.' Would love to see something with a more feathery leaf texture there too.
Why is he so good looking?! I can't even focus on the plants 😂
Water feature like a fountain is my vote for that little corner.
Love this garden and a Japanese Maple would be lovely. However, I would also consider putting in a smokebush. The Velvet Fog or Winecraft Gold would be stunning from PW.
Beautiful garden and location. Thanks so much for sharing!
Maybe a BlackLace Elderberry for some texture and contrast would be pretty. Very beautiful property!

Jack the Ambassador for The Island. Thank you.

Such a lovely little family and your children are absolutely 💞🌹
Lovely property. I would leave the honey suckle where it is and put a fountain in the other spot. I live on P.E.I.

What a treasured home and property!!
Beautiful! I would love to see the inside of the house too. What an amazing view of Lake Huron!
Purple foliage... not sure if a smoke bush would get enough sun there... I can't wait to see what you choose!
No need to tell you how amazing your Grandmother's house and garden is 🧡
Thank you Jack and your grandmother for sharing the garden! I i’m still hoping for that day, when we can ‘cross the border’ again to visit this beautiful island and the beautiful work that you and your crew do! 🇨🇦
I hope one day to meet your grandma maybe you could have her on video? Very interesting. Love this Garden
lovely tour. My dream would be to live on water. I love the sound of crashing waves. I live right near a lake in Iowa but houses cannot be built on the lake but I can still go to the marina and enjoy. You are satisfying my Mackinac Island dreams until I can get back there again.
Oak leaf hydrangeas,so many to choose from & long blooming as you know
Jack, love grandma's garden.
This video of your granny's house was awesome! I hope you have a video of the pruning and putting something new in that spot!
Trees or shrubs make umbrella shape ,,,,I like it
Beautiful!!! Something purple....smoke bush or Bloodgood. Thanks for sharing!
How about a Hydrangea tree in that space? Lovely place, hoped Granny was going to make an appearance. 👵 Loved seeing the cedar shake aged appearance. We used it on a portion of our house and patiently waiting for it to age.
So much color and majesty look amazing... maybe you will find some beautiful vine like clematis or some climbing!!! But for sure wherever you decide will be glorious
Perhaps a striking contrast to the Columnar Beech would be the Red Obelisk Beech. Cedar Shake siding is on my home and it ages well.
I would say to plant a nine bark. The color would be beautiful there 😊
Hi Jack, I really love your videos. I learn so much. :-) I think my vote is for some type of water feature also. That would look so Charming tucked away in there under that beech tree.

Purple smoke bush in that hole area would stunning!!!!
Beautiful home and garden!
Just saw your Granny's garden yesterday. It is absolutely stunning! I'm from Illinois.
Beautiful...Love, love, love!!! Why remove those day lilies though? If they can survive there let them be! Softens the rock edge and give a nod to the old garden border. 😊
Beautiful garden and home. I Love mackinaw Island! I live in West Michigan near Lake Michigan and will need to plan a trip in 2021 will take a pic by your granny’s gate. Beautiful!
Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea would be lovely. What a treat to see the update at grandma's house. Thank you for sharing with us. 🇨🇦
Absolutly beatiful, wow.
I vote for black lace or lemony lime elderberry for the blank spot 😁 Needs some height and different foliage color to contrast with all the green.
Beautiful...maybe another invincible spirit two since it will take sun and shade...thanks for the tour!
Absolutely beautiful.
Globe master alliums. Great video. Can’t wait to see more.
I would like to see some red leaf Japanese maples also, and maybe some ferns. I didn't see any Fern from the property, and there's a lot of different variety of change times which I think would be more than perfect.

Omg. From the front to the back it's like a completely different house.
Amazing house and garden!
How about a snowball bush for that gap?
Or something winter green?
- And how about some irises, or some reed-like plants for the water front?
Absolutely beautiful 🌹🤗😍
I would love to see pictures of the Hydrangea and Lilac in full bloom. Perhaps next year... :-)
Me too ! Me too !
Jack, pls show us pics or another video when it is in full bloom ❤️🌹
Breathtaking
So beautiful! How about a Lime Light Hydrangea.
Great suggestion, but she has so many hydrangeas already, that we would rather go with something different~ perhaps a spring blooming “forest pansy” redbud.... is what I am currently thinking!
@@JackBarnwellDesign Yes you are right that would be beautiful in the spring.
@@JackBarnwellDesign
Ooh! I love Redbuds.
Thanks for taking us back to your grandma’s wonderful house and garden. Would have loved to see photos of the lilac and hydrangea in full bloom. Must have been amazing!
Wow when you turn that corner and the front view of those windows of the cottage & deck views. GORGEOUS
Thanks Grandma for letting us tour your garden!! It is very beautiful.
Brings back fond memories of a road trip to Mackinac I took with my youngest daughter 4 yrs ago. That island is a step back in time and SO beautiful.
This is ridiculously awesome!!!
Hi, some plant suggestions for the free space: 1. Clematis on the wall would be beautiful, but because it's made of wood probably not possible.

Just Wow 😮 soo beautiful 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Beautiful space - appreciate the flashback photos from May!
Absolutely stunning.Add on some chocolate coloured plants....regards from South africa
Put in another cool apple tree. Is your grandmother ever worried the waves / water will over take her cottage? It’s such a peaceful looking place. Really enjoyed the update on your grandmas property.
I Just Love this House, Next time I'm on the Island, I will be looking for your Grandma's beautiful house❤🌼❤
U r blessed. That place is amazing
I love 💕 gramma’s place 🍃
Beautiful!

We're so glad to have you!!
