This is a going to be fun for everyone –
New people in the hobby will LOVE this class! Ideas & insights are GOLD!

AND if you’ve had a Pond for a while and want to add something, or update it a little… Like adding a stream or new waterfall, this is for you!

AND if you have a Pond that has never been quite… right – It needs filtrations help or more plants or SOMETHING – BAM!

We will go over how to Design, prepare & build an ALL Natural, “Low Maintenance” Water Garden of your own! How to place and create a natural looking waterfall and stream will be a major topic of conversation!

AND – How to turn an older Water feature/Pond into a brand new, “facelifted” feature or a troubled green water pond into a crystal clear pond of your dreams!

Learn more about building a waterfall with the pro's at Carters Nursery Pond & Patio. Jackson, Tn.

Today someone asked me ‘What is an outdoor lifestyle area’… GREAT Question!

Outdoor Lifestyle Areas allow you to really enjoy the backyard. A Pond, Patio, grill and garden area to get comfy is the Ultimate! Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio Jackson Tn 38305

I used these photo’s to help give a visual idea of the concept.

Simply put, an ‘Outdoor Lifestyle area’ is an outdoor area where you can comfortably live and enjoy your life in the style you most enjoy. As a Landscape Designer, I design these outdoor spaces every day – it’s my passion and it’s my main job at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio.

As with most things, I try to keep it as simple as possible –

It usually starts with an area to sit or lounge comfortably.
* A Patio or Deck area. I love the area to be covered if at all possible (roof attached to home, Pergola or Gazebo, etc). Enjoy the space year round!
* A place to cook – Grill, Stove, Outdoor Oven etc…
* Comfortable places to sit & eat are very important! (Furniture, Seat Walls, etc.).
* I like my outdoor space to be surrounded with a beautiful Garden! Screening plants to provide privacy, fragrant plants etc. & almost 100% of the time –
A Water Feature is the focal point of the entire outdoor area! Sound fills the senses!

I have several Outdoor Displays that you can come view anytime during business hours if you want to learn more about the world of possibilities in ‘Outdoor Living’
