Here’s a beautiful “Disappearing Fountain” that we built a few years back. I just love the old Spilling Bowl that creates the uppermost Waterfall. It just feels good… Here’s to Waterfalls!
This little Water Feature creates such an intimate feeling in the Garden. And the range of sounds that it produces is just amazing 🤩
What day is it? Come on , you know what day it is… That’s right! It’s Throwback Thursday 💥
I worked on my own Gardens yesterday! It was such a beautiful day and thank goodness, with Jo and Jacobs help, we got it looking really good! We are back to feeding our Koi again as well, so I got that going for me 😊 When we went to clean this little Disappearing Fountain up, I was blown away by the lack of maintenance that it takes to keep this little Water Feature looking great! These few leaves in the water in the lower basin was really all there was to clean up after Winter. I just Love ❤️ this little Water Feature!
This is my offering for your Monday Moment of Zen. I hope you enjoy this beautiful day😊
Good Morning! It’s time to shuck them sheets and hit the streets! How about a little Zen to go… Here’s a beautiful Fountainscape that make a 360 degree waterfall. It sounds so nice! And it’s a 24 hour feature! Enjoy it night and day. Check it out 👇🏻
I LOVE ❤️ Water Features!
At night they are even nicer😊
Anything that entertains your senses 24 hours a day (sight & sound) and invites birds into your Landscape is Gold to me! I hope you enjoy this Moment of Zen…
I recently had the pleasure to meet the Ladies of the Helen Schult Garden Club in Caruthersville, Missouri and to speak for their members on my favorite subject- Water Gardening! Any time I can share my knowledge of this wonderful hobby and Lifestyle, I’m in 😊
Practicing with my new selfie 🤳 stick… The host is preparing to introduce me…I did a video presentation followed by a Q&A and then we did a garden walkover/tour of the hosts backyard paradise!
The meeting took place at a local members beautiful home, that actually has a Water Garden (that we helped her with)… Her family really enjoys the “Outdoor Lifestyle” that I talk about all the time. Her backyard living area is second to none! Custom paved patio space with an outdoor kitchen, bar and sitting/lounging area beneath a custom Pergola. Complete with a Fire 🔥 feature, a Water Feature and gorgeous pottery and plants… Shang-ra-la…
The real star ⭐️ of the show ❤️The Water Garden sits right beside the patio and provides views from all areas of the backyard. The sound is wonderful! And the Koi are growing and multiplying 😊The sun was in my eyes when I took this one so please forgive the squint 😎 What a wonderful group of Ladies! Thank you to all the members of the Helen Schult Garden Club! Happy Halloween 🎃 And Happy Holidays from Mark Carter & Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio!
It’s #throwbackthursday! And I ain’t forgot about y’all! I was looking back at my original blog posts from when I first started blogging. I wanted to share this one as my Throwback… It was a published story from the Tennessee Gardener Magazine in 2008. It’s all about Container Water Gardening! I’m still talking and teaching about this wonderful hobby today! 13 years of blog posts later 😳
I wanted to share a beautiful, private backyard I got to visit last week. The home is surrounded by gardens! Complete with gazebos and pathways and Bubbling Fountains with intimate/hidden little sitting areas (opportunities ❤️) within the outdoor spaces. WOW! I didn’t want to leave 😊
Then I went to the Backyard Garden 😍 Check it out 👇🏻
We got to help redo this stream and waterfall that your looking down as it flows into the pond. We used the stone they had on site in the “re-configuration” and it turned out beautifully I think. So did they ❤️
This is such A special garden that I asked them if they would like to be included in a future Pond/Garden Tour. She said she would LOVE to be on the tour 😊 So, some of you lucky folks will be able to stroll through what I consider to be one of the best designed and maintained gardens in West Tennessee in the near future.
I got this short video when I went by a great clients home the other day just to check in. The landscape has matured so beautifully! But I was drawn to the sound of the fountain like a magnet…
We placed this fountain right by the back patio where it could be enjoyed from the patio, the back porch or the screened porch you see in the background. The birds come to drink and bathe year round and the sound is wonderful.
These are Basalt Stone Columns. They are core drilled and plumbed individually to form a bubbling fountain. We used 3 in this one & I just Love the way it turned out! PS: They are VERY heavy! 😊
I hope this brings a little Zen to your Monday Morning!
– A vacation spent in ones home rather than abroad.
A “Stay at home Vacation”? Sound familiar? 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.
