Is it just me or is October moving fast 💨 Only 12 days till Halloween 🎃 And it’s already #waterfallwednesday… Scratch that, it’s #waterfeaturewednesday! 💥
Checkout this beautiful Custom Fountain. It’s a disappearing fountain, meaning the water flows into an underground chamber where it’s stored and recirculates from there.
I just LOVE this Water Feature ❤️ It sounds so good 😊 It really sets the mood in this beautiful backyard patio garden 🪴 With the lighting, it becomes a 24 hour feature… Enjoy it all night! It just keeps on bubbling bubbling bubbling…
Have a Great #waterfeaturewednesday! #waterfallwednesday

I have been on the road for the past few days doing some out of town Water Feature Design work. My travels have taken me into middle and eastern Tennessee, up into the mountains ⛰ What a beautiful state we live in ❤️ I Love TN! To top it all off, the TN VOLS 🏈 finally broke a loosing streak to Alabama and beat them at home in Knoxville! 🏈💥
Now it’s back down the mountain, across the plateau and the TN River to West Tn… and to quote the old saying “There is NO place like home!”
“Its great to be back
after many places we did roam.
no greater truth has been said,
than..theres no place like home
sacred sanctuary and my familiar bed,
soft blankets and comfy pillows that
that mould so knowingly,
to the shape of your head.
food cooked just like I want
rooms set up to my taste,
cupboards for me to rummage in
and stack up neatly, what I purchased.
plants to say hello to,
flowers to greet me smilingly
not to forget my darling doggy
who licks me welcomes me so beguingly
ah the pleasure and comfort of my home
can not be compared to any other
the feeling when you enter your home
is like a child being embraced by its mother.
holidays are fun and are required
they serve to remind you well.
after you have had fun and travelled,
its great to be back where you dwell
though it takes a lot of love and labour
to make a home that that you can be proud
theres no place like home
I will say it again
I will say it hearfelt and loud.”
~ Arti Chopra
Have a great Sunday!

I have been operating Carters Nursery Pond & Patio since 1989. I’ve set up countless Garden Shows and hosted hundreds of Pond related workshops (pond builds, design classes, waterfall building, pond maintenance, koi health, etc etc)… I own & operate a 7 acre Garden Center and Aquatic Nursery with running eco-system ponds and a full Koi facility. My goal all these years has been to show Pond Enthusiasts a better way. But, that doesn’t mean I can rest on my laurels… Just Yesterday, I had a great conversation with a walk in customer that lives within 5 miles of my Nursery and has been a pond enthusiast for over 15 years! And guess what… He didn’t know that I was here and he didn’t know what a Pond Skimmer would do for him 😮 Sooooo, needless to say I spent some time with him and gave him the full .10 cent tour of my place! He was blown away and left with a skimmer of his own and a mission to install it himself 💥
So the question remains for many Pond owners –
Q- Does My Koi Pond &/or Water Garden Need A Skimmer?
The answer is YES! Most Definitely…
The simple function of the Skimmer is to help collect surface debris from your Pond. BUT, that’s not all it does for you. A good Skimmer also –
- Houses, hides and pre-filters your Pond Pump! No more clogged pumps! 💥
- By collecting debris before it collects on the pond bottom it Greatly Improves Water Quality!
- A Skimmer also greatly increases dissolved oxygen in your Pond Water! Making a much healthier Pond and much happier Koi!
- A Skimmer does most of the physical work for you, giving you more time to relax 😊
IF you are a Pond guy or gal and don’t have a Pond Skimmer, I am here to help! Drop by and I will show you the light 💡 or give me a call 1-731-424-2206 and I will come to you!
Thanks! & Happy Pondering!

My offering is a beautiful backyard pond with twin upper waterfalls that flow under a stone bridge before combing into a final cascade that flows into the pond below. Here are a few different prospectives to view…
I sure do hope you enjoy this beautiful #Waterfallwednesday !

Heres a beautiful semi formal Water Garden I had the pleasure of touring while down in Southern Florida recently. It was warm and in bloom and made me dream of Spring…
Spring is coming! Soon our water lilies will be blooming and our koi will be eating from our hands and all will be right in the world of the Water Garden ❤️ Until then, enjoy the season as it unfolds…
Have a great week!
