Carter's Water Garden


Sunday Reflection’s…

A new year and I have been busy planning for it! Business plan, events, pond tours, workshops, jobs, early buys, plant orders and more… I haven’t missed a sunrise or sunset in 2023 yet! No it’s not a resolution… But I do really enjoy watching both 🌞🌅 Here’s a little collage of some of 2023’s best from the Beach!

Now is when the real work begins…

“Sunrise looks spectacular in nature; sunrise looks spectacular in the photos; sunrise looks spectacular in our dreams; sunrise looks spectacular in the paintings, because it really is spectacular!”

Waterfall Wednesday | Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

Jump down, turn around and it’s Waterfall Wednesday again! Todays waterfall is a night shot of a beautifully lit Waterfall at night, in honor of this weekends Moonlight Pond Tour!

The only thing more beautiful than a waterfall is a beautifully lit 🔥 waterfall at night 🌕

If your like me, you work all day and have much more time to enjoy your Waterfall in the evening and at night. That’s why I always install lights on my Water Features. That way you get 2 ponds for the price of one – The Daytime Pond AND the Nighttime Pond 🌕

Come to the Moonlight Pond Tour this Saturday and you will see why the night pond is my Favorite!

Have a wonderful #Waterfallwednesday!
