I want to put Jack Barnwell in my pocket like a Tomagotchi… and just wrap him up in a blanket. How sweet is he? Thanks for the tour and thanks for your heart. I’m sure the owners were so thankful for your help in their time of distress.

[@rmishio6036]

🤣😂

[@msdee2905]

Yes he’s handsome.

[@GardenHappy]

haha so cute!

[@SteveL2012]

What a joy! Jenny, you are a naturally talented interviewer. This was interesting, seamless, easy going and extremely professional!

[@kerrilee9651]

That is what I was going to say.

[@davidhatfield5714]

Yes, I just commented the same before reading this😂 (KH)

[@davidhatfield5714]

Jenny best “Jack” interview, ever!❤ Your questions were interesting and I could tell you were just happy to be there.

[@susanmcpherson3998]

Words can hardly express the joy of watching this beautiful video. To see gardens of this magnitude and grandeur in person is a privilege to be cherish! I have a small garden paradise of my own, that I’m proud of, so I can only imagine the pride that Jack has in his stunning garden creations! Thank you, Jenny and Jerry for all your hard work to bring such joy to all of us gardeners!

[@lizhorton5333]

What a truly special video. It was amazing to see the beautiful gardens and hear the story of the rebuild and everything involved. Jenny is a wonderful interviewer and you can see how passionate she is. Jack is a gifted landscaper, a real artist with so much talent and heart! Thanks for sharing this!

[@mrs.riche3939]

Huge thanks to Jack and all of the homeowners for allowing these amazing tours.

[@judywyse7088]

Jenny and Jerry, as locals of Mackinac County (across the bay from Mackinac Island in St Ignace) it was so much fun to meet both of you and have you in our 'neck of the woods'. This is a wonderful place to live, and one of the privileges is having so many people come to our area to visit. Brigadoon is such a wonderful cottage, and it was my honor to be a volunteer there for the garden tours. Thanks again for being so approachable. Your Pollinators session was great. Keep up the good work.

[@dachsymom5232]

Great, great tour! I love how conversational it was! The story of saving the cottage from that fire! I was in tears! How proud Jack was of his brother touched my heart! 🥰

[@AMFM_918]

The stories behind that house and Jack’s family history on Mackinac are phenomenal! Loved this so much❣️

[@Lupo-ie4cu]

I hope Mackinac Island never changes. It's such a gift! Thanks to all who keep it beautiful and original. 💗

[@LitlPoot]

I absolutely loved the look on Jack's face when you were telling him the Southern version of why we paint Haint blue ceilings ... and then he proceeds to tell the Northern version was to keep the bugs & birds off - I found it quite humerous and very endearing - hahaha !!! Thanks to y'all (Jerry, Jenny & Jack) for sharing this wonderful adventure with us - I never tire of the Mackinac garden tours and the info, encouragement and inspiration you all bring along

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I think he thinks we Southerners are crazy 😜. It was written all over his face!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Lolol

[@jla110661]

First I finally remember to say.... love you in a side ponytail. Super interesting tour with Jack. Not every tour needs to be about the individual plants. The story and the thought process is what really shines here. Great video.

[@eileenchang2173]

Thank you Jenny and Jack for such an informative and beautiful tour! Jenny, you are such an excellent interviewer as your questions are spot on! 🌸❤️🇨🇦

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I would NEVER hesitate to say-I adore Jenny! And to watch this interview with one of my other very favorite people defies description! It was SUCH fun!!! Jack, you and all the other people involved in the restoration of BRIGADOON-DID IT!!! She IS stunning, and her gardens are lush, gorgeous-simply BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you BOTH! Thank You Jerry for doing such an excellent job filming. I’m thrilled your family had the opportunity to experience one of my favorite places on this earth!!

Thx again, Jenny for including us…🌷🌹🥰

[@samitagoswami9354]

Jack is a magical worker! The more I see his work, the more I marvel at his craftsmanship! The brickwork and vision behind it felt like a finely crafted sari border! Keep it up and let us create a piece of your dream and weave it in our own gardens!

[@Maximama512]

Love this tour and the interaction between you two. Jack’s work is amazing! Thank you for sharing this.

[@kaylac3367]

Wow! What a story of this house! That Jack, he's the best! Helping the owners during the fire and how heartfelt he is. Love the blue ceiling stories. Makes me want to paint my porch ceiling! Jenny this was a great tour and you asked great questions. I enjoyed hearing a smidge of Jack's background/history. He seems to be such a sweet guy. Thank you all for the tour!

[@sherryporter8647]

Great video and interview. I would like to know what caused the fire...

[@starlakelsey2782]

[@ladonnahowell7151]

It is absolutely amazing and gorgeous! The whole front yard being planted in a half a day could only be done with a super talented staff following a super detailed design that was perfect. Jack does an awesome job making those places look, feel, and function at the highest level. Wow!!!!

[@jodip719]

Well Mr. Jack, your street cred is good here! If you're ever in northwest Iowa, please stop by a design my gardens and front entry 🤗. Simply amazing work you do. Jenny, thank you for sharing this tour. What an amazing story this house has and is stunningly beautiful ❤️

[@cathy8819]

Brigadoon is one if my favorite movies! Jack is a master of his craft and I love watching his channel. Thank you Jenny for this amazing, informative tour!

[@ndrake6782]

Wonderful job Jenny! And thanks to Jack for showing us this amazing garden.

Huge fan of Jack...love d back ground story of d house...my 3 favorite people in one place Jack.. Jenny and Laura how fun .I love all d tours of these gardens an houses...love u guys☺️👍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@delldirks3726]

Jack is such a sweetheart. Love his work.

[@hamilr5431]

We visit Mackinac every year and saw this house after the fire. This year we were completely surprised by the renovation. You would never know that the top of the house was previously destroyed..and being a historical house as well. It's impressive.

[@pamelasallie421]

It’s my dream to be able to visit Mackinac Island some day ❤️

[@jillnorris8448]

Wow! What a stunning property & an amazing story of how it's been rebuilt. Jack is so personable & your interview with him just flowed effortlessly. I must say, I'm envious of all those gorgeous hydrangeas!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thanks for watching! Yes the hydrangea are crazy 😊

[@michaelmalone8742]

We were able to tour this garden during the Grand Garden Show a few days ago. The restoration is truly amazing. Thanks, Jenny and Jack, for adding such interesting info to what we were able to see in person! Great questions, Jenny. It was fun to visit with you and Jerry!

[@charlesprice925]

A time lapse of the restoration and the combined old/new world methods used to accomplish it would have been amazing.

[@juliabinford6500]

Jenny, you are a wonderful interviewer. I’m still floored that the front was planted in 2 hours. The horse was lovely too.

[@marysetliff2441]

What a joy this video was !! Thank you Jenny and Jack. And Jerry.

[@logansimpson5980]

Great video from your favorite nephew of all time. This comment is for my turf management teacher Mr Philips’s

[@robertclifton9999]

Awesome will all the KZbinrs with Jack, love to listen to y'all. Oh what a great time you must have enjoyed. Continue to spoil us. I'm from Madison NC, need to come down..

[@lynlijalysbalderdottir4563]

I love that tour. What a beautiful rebuild/restoration of Brigadon!

[@ceciliadelgado6899]

So beautiful! Thank you Jenny and Jack for this tour! Amazing!!

[@GardenHappy]

What a gorgeous house and garden. Thank you jack for sharing this with us. So much fun!!! 💚💛🧡❤💜💙 You make me want to move to NC!

[@tangerinefusion1]

Wow…I’m from Savannah Ga. the Deep South low country and have never heard about the spirit crossing over? Our story is the same as Jacks! It prevents bugs and birds from settling in with the illusion of a sky and it definitely helps. I’ll have to check into the spirit story, interesting. Mackinaw Island is dreamy! It the land before time! So very whimsical and just breathtaking! Love touring the private cottages with y’all! Jack is definitely a master at his craft and just precious and nice on the eyes to boot! So glad they were able to preserve so much history of the house! 💕

[@karenhart4316]

Thanks Jenny just stunning 🤩 Karen from Port Macquarie NSW Australia 🦇🦘🐨🐳🌊🇦🇺🫶🏻

[@TheBking01]

This was a amazing tour Jenny,Jack is a amazing gardener & very kind to make time to share his work with everyone.I’m happy your family got to experience the Island,you guys work so hard, happy to see you have fun.

[@YouthfulHahaha]

Wish they took pictures all along.. Great video👍

[@darlenesgardenandhome]

I watched Laura, from Garden Answer's tours and when I saw you had one too, I had to watch. Such magnificent landscapes. It's very inspiring. Jack's company does an amazing job.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thanks for watching, we have one more video from the trip

[@darlenesgardenandhome]

@@GardeningwithCreekside oh good !

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Jenny and Jerry, this was a true gift to be able to tag along on the tour of Brigadoon and to hear all of the back stories. Thank you! ~Margie😊🐴💐🦋

[@terrybouck5192]

It was so nice to meet you and Jerry on the Island at the garden show. You do a great interview and Jacks quite the old pro. Great to talk with him, too. The pollinator presentation was really great and so informative. Im fortunate to live in Michigan and get to go…..if I can afford it. Lol

[@jnlantes2000]

💚💝THANKS!! JENNY, AND CREEKSIDE!!💚💝

[@terrya.]

We were on the island a couple of days after the fire, so this is so wonderful to see! Thank you!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Our pleasure!

I have a crush on Jack 😊

[@pamelawoodall5891]

[@lindaortolano7837]

Hi Jenny! Thank you for this amazing tour! I love Jack and follow him. His work is just outstanding. Jack always hits the right notes when it comes to design!! I can only dream of seeing Mackinac Island, so I really appreciate this visit!! Brigadoon Cottage is beautiful, and I am so happy it could be restored back to its glory!! Have a wonderful day and I will see you in the next one. Hugs! :)

[@2ManyTomatoes]

Boy if you are a carriage driving enthusiast, what an awesome place to have a summer home where you can use your horses and carriages safely! Mackinac is still on my bucket list.

[@chrisferrante9544]

Thanks for the fascinating interview and tour. I went to Jack's Facebook page and found his tour of Brigadoon from May 29 . Wow! what a transformation.

[@lindakay8171]

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this or not but you can search Rebuilding Brigadoon - One Year After The Fire and see Jack's video on the restoration.

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

Wow ... That is incredible ... to get that back to be so beautiful in such a short time .... Just Wow ...!!!

[@pamketron]

Amazing tour and awesome questions Jenny. I love seeing Jack and his magic landscapes. Beautiful place. I’m glad they were able to bring her back to her glory.

[@Sbullo]

Absolutely love Jack!! And I love seeing things change on the island every year. Thank you for bringing this content to us!!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Our pleasure!

[@linrn53]

Love this. And what a great guy Jack is. I enjoy his KZbin channel as well.

[@Kati-did]

So much fun! Love Jack. Hope ya'll got to see Laura and Aaron while you were there!

[@sharongauss9298]

Incredible! I watched this iconic beauty burn on video and the total destruction of the property. Jack & his team made the magic happen , for everyone to admire for the next century & beyond.

[@oakleyjack7600]

Robins egg Blue is what people try to match their porch ceilings to.

[@suekrebs3497]

Jenny, you conduct a great interview! Jack looked like he enjoyed your energy and enthusiasm. I was at Green Bay Botanical garden on Wednesday and was excited to see the Great Star Hydrangea. I'm hoping to plant one soon in my garden.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Sue thank you so much, and yes that hydrangea is awesome

[@kittenkorleone2918]

All I can say is....WOW! I've always been a Somewhere In Time fan but you have me sold on a vacation to Mackinac Island! Stunning property. Great job on the recovery.

[@LittleLo633]

I loved the questions you asked. I learned a lot about the island.

[@Yvonne_ennovY]

I had to leave another comment, because I am binge watching this video today. 😁🌿💮 There's just something about the rapport between Jenny and Jack, the history of the home, the current state of the grounds after the magnitude of the renovation...I mean, the other videos I've seen this week were lovely (especially the tour of the Grand Hotel 🤩), but this one is the BEST! This one made me add Mackinac Island to my destination bucket list. And now I'm going to hit repeat for a fourth time... 🥰

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Oh wow! thank you!

[@gardensnob1]

A true Rising from the Ashes story with Brigadoon. Such beauty. Thanks Ms Jenny snd Jack. 👍🌸

[@deezahm9143]

Thank you so much for sharing the beauty, and Jack’s magical results for bringing this garden back to more glory days to come. What a great interviewer you are, Jenny! I wish I could sit down with you and Jack and your families for a lovely chat and a tall glass of lemonade! Horses are so beautiful, too! 👏🏻👍🏻

[@SenterStuff]

I recently watched the video on the fire at Brigadoon on Jack’s channel. Amazing to see what the builders and what Jack and his team did in such a short time! Y’all check it out! ~Cassandra Senter

[@mollynickerson]

[@GardeningwithCreekside]
