Yes, the headlines are true… We are closed until Tuesday in observance of Labor Day. Did you know that the Labor Day holiday goes all the way back to the 1800’s?! Pretty cool 😎 I don’t know about you, but my crew has earned a long weekend! Their hard work, along with many others out there, is what makes our country great!
Thanks to my all my people for their hard work and dedication! ❤️
And God Bless the American Worker! 💪🏼 🇺🇸
“Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too.”

Evening feeding time is a daily ritual around here. We feed the Koi in all the Ponds and in all the different Fish Tanks as well. It’s a labor of Love ❤️
They are waiting everyday for their meal and I think they enjoy our company as well. Like old friends…
Have a Great Monday!

Question: What’s the best time to feed my Koi?
People ask me that all the time! The answer is a pretty simple one… After the water temperature has stabilized in the spring and conditions are right, most anytime is a good time to feed your Koi! ❤️ The #1 thing not to do – Don’t overfeed! Feed a little at a time and let them consume it, then feed a little more IF they are still eating. I feed mine in the morning and then again in the evening. They are waiting on me both times 😊
One of the most enjoyable parts of the day is feeding my Koi! Remember – Feed em’ high quality Koi Food! Available at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
Check our last evenings feeding session 👇🏻

So to wrap it up – don’t overfeed & enjoy the moment. Feeding your Koi is one of the many rewards of having a Pond!
Happy Pondering!

Well, you can’t go to Disney World right now, or out to eat or even to a movie! So, the way you look at it is ALL up to you… Lockdown or time off. Shelter at home, or a “Staycation”!
If you could take the family to Disney for the week, do you know what the average cost would be? Depending on how much discounting and coupons and deals you work out, expect to spend as much as $10,000.00! You keep the memories and the pictures of course.
– That my friends is another reason more and more people are Staycationing! They are putting in Water Gardens, swimming pools, patios, grilling stations, fire pits 🔥and creating Outdoor Living Space right in the comfort of their own backyard! And why not!? You can access and enjoy these areas day and night! They add to your daily enjoyment AND to your property value!
My personal Outdoor Living Area at night. The Pond is the centerpiece, surrounded by gardens both edible and ornamental with sitting and lounging areas, a Grilling station and a nice fire pit. I’m down for a “Staycation”! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

I am doing remote designs during this critical period of social distancing. We can discuss ideas on the phone or through email. You can send me pictures of your backyard areas and I can develop ideas and work up sketch’s that you can ‘Ponder’ 😊 For the future. Hopefully the not to distant future 😎
Thanks for reading and watching! Stay safe! And enjoy your Staycation.
