    Jack Barnwell is such a super cool, chill dude. I love his style and that property is stunning. The history is amazing. I love the idea that the horses get a little snack when they pull up to the home♡ How kind of the home owner to allow you to tour and show us the beauty! Thank you!♡

    Today, I learned the importance of a strong border, especially if you like a wild interior. Jack touches the plants the way other people touch their children. He was born to garden. Thank you for showing us around, Jack. And, thank you, Aaron and Laura, for taking us with you to Mackinac Island. ~ Lisa
    Edited to correct the spelling of Mackinac. How does spell check not know this?

    My favorite people in my favorite place! We honeymooned on Mackinac Island. It is our 20th Anniversary this weekend, and we wanted to come back for the Grand Garden Show, but we are moving this week, so we couldn't make it work out. I'm sad about that, but it makes my heart happy to see you there and your willingness to share the magic with us. Thank you for all that you do!

    There’s so many elements to this tour that should inspire all gardeners. I especially liked his (&the island’s) attitude towards the lawn! No chemicals is great for the animals and pollinators.

    There is so much diversity. My property has rocks of all sizes. The ideas that are popping in my mind are tumbling out. The relaxed look but very well maintained. So much can be learned from this.

    Glad to see Jack Barnwell back on your channel! Not just a great landscape designer but also a funny guy.. "low maintenance garden=pure poison ivy here and dandelions here" cracked me up!

    Well, now I know that my Suburban Paris lawn is a perfect example of a Mackinac Cottage Lawn 😹😻. All the more endearing!💗💜🤩 What a down to earth guy, Jack Barnwell! Gotta love his low-key yet highly-educational enthusiasm for his Art! Psst, between us, I do believe I have a crush on him 😊!

    Thank you for a cold weather location garden tour! It’s motivating to see something so beautiful in zone similar to mine.

    I absolutely love all these videos with Jack and Laura. Just a natural and organic flow with the Garden Answer vibe we love so much. I usually don't rewatch vids but I could rewatch this one 3 times a day quite happily! What a dreamy space. You both have such nice energy and clearly love what you do. What I am baffled by is Jack's TH-cam channel only having 37k subscribers. WHAT? How? Go sub to Jack's channel everyone! Jack is so generous with his knowledge and I am going to spread the word amongst my Scottish and UK gardening community. Jack Barnwell Design Go go go!

    I really love how all of the spaces are divided so that you can't see all the way around. It makes for a feeling of privacy, surprise, curiosity, and expanse. I also really like that everything isn't perfect--I'm up for a cottage lawn. Magical!

    Those gardens and homes look amazing. I can’t imagine building those gardens, and structures without any heavy machinery. They must have been a major task!🤔
