There’s nothing more quiet, peaceful & ZEN like than a beautifully lit ‘Nighttime Pond’! This is my pond, my little piece of paradise 😊 Nothing else calms and relaxes me like sitting down by by the pond… Within just a few minutes you can feel your heart rate slow down, your breathing becomes calm and quiet & you just… Relax 😌
I hope this short video brings a little Zen into your morning. Your welcome to come by my Nursery during business hours to feed the Koi and sit a spell. You will see what I mean 😊
PS: This Saturday night (September 14th) is our annual ‘Moonlight Pond Tour. Come experience the Nighttime Pond for yourselves!
