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.

I posted about this Water Feature when it was newly built several years ago. This Large Pondless Waterfall was built by our CAC group (Certified Aquascape Contractors) at our annual Training Event in Illinois (Carter’s Nursery, Pond & Patio are Master CAC’s). This morning my son and I had breakfast by this Water Feature & I took this picture from my seat 😊 My contribution to #waterfallwednesday !
The Landscape has really filled in nicely. This feature looks and feels so Natural! | Carter’s Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
Training and keeping up with new technology and techniques is all important if your to stay at the top of the game! That’s why we work at constant improvement! This year I took a very important person to this wonderful training event so he could grow and get better too.
My son Jacob is working in the business now! He grew up in and around the nursery & our family business, and is learning more and more every day 😊
A beautiful evening always draws me out to the Pond 😊 I took this short video as the landscape lighting was kicking on. Under water lights, fountain lights, up lighting on the trees & more… I love the “Nightscape” 😊 I hope it adds little Zen to your day.
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and you still haven’t gotten anything for your Mom or your wife.. What to do?
