I LOVE this Waterfall! Our goal was to create a feature that looks and feels Natural. From the main viewing area I think we pulled it off pretty well 😊
The sound and energy of a natural Waterfall and creek will make you stop in your tracks! You have to take it in. You want to sit down and feel the energy, feel the Zen.
Have a great Monday!

This is our 31st year of doing business! As you know we design and build Custom Water Features. I tell people all the time that “Waterfalls are my business, and business is good”! So true 😊 Waterfalls are also my Art. Building waterfalls is so much more than just arranging stones and boulders… You have to have an Artists eye 👁 to build something that resonates. A feature that makes you stop and just, absorb all the elements. When you pull that off, in my opinion, you have become an artist…
People tell me I’m an artist all the time. So I’m embracing it! Bob Ross hair and all! I ❤️ My Art! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
The old saying goes, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”… My new saying is going to be,
“I don’t work, I create Happy Little Waterfalls” 😊 Boom 💥
I ❤️ My Job! I ❤️ My Crew! And – I ❤️ My Art!
Thanks for all your support the last 31 years! ❤️
Have a Great Day!

The days are growing longer and the water temperature is rising! The water temp has hit 50 💥 The Magic #! I think the fish know as well… They are active and asking to eat 😊
They have awoke! Feed me is their call!
I think the fish have been monitoring the thermometer 🌡 The water is up to 50 degrees now 😊 You know what that means! 💥
This is my favorite time of the year! Everything is coming back to life & it’s about time to start feeding the Koi again! There isn’t anything much more Zen than that to me ✌🏻
Enjoy the day! Spring is almost here 😊

Sometimes a simple Waterfall is all it takes to grab your attention. This is an area where two streams converge & I just love the sound and movement! I thought I would share this for #waterfallwednesday.
This little convergence isn’t the main focal point of this Water Feature by far! But, it’s all the little parts together that make a Magical Water Feature! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio
Check out the video 👇🏻
Enjoy your day! Not only is today #waterfallwednesday, it’s Hump Day! We are half way through the week!

I like to set goals and meet them! I also like to mark Milestones… Today is the 600th day that I have turned out a daily blog! Whew! It sure doesn’t seem like it’s been that long… Time flies! And – Yes, I have been having Fun! 😊
When I committed to a daily Blog it was a HUGE step! And at first it was a real challenge, but it seems to get easier and more fun the longer I keep the commitment 😊
As many of you know, I started blogging in 2008, but not daily… more weekly and monthly, AND I haven’t missed a month since 2008! But, It wasn’t until January 1st 2018 that I made the decision to blog daily. Now, it’s just part of what I do… And, my blog has developed some daily themes that I hope you like…
Mondays are a video of a stream and/or Waterfall, usually one that we built, and it’s titled “Monday Morning Moment of Zen”…
Tuesdays and Thursdays are my ‘freelance days’… lately I have been doing my Blog or Vlog On Outdoor Living, focusing on Outdoor Lifestyle Areas (Spaces, patios, outdoor kitchens,outdoor rooms, etc.).
Wednesday (Hump Day) Is ALL about Waterfalls! And – KOI!
Fridays I do a Local Talk Radio Show (The ‘180’ with Dan Reaves & Sea Bass) and I follow the show up with a Blog about what was covered. I call it – The “Friday Radio Report”.
Saturdays I try to Blog about the my Nursery. What’s HOT, Events that are happening and, what is going on in & around the garden.
Sundays Blog is called “Sunday Reflections…” Sunday is a day of rest, reflection and time with my family. I try to share a inspirational thought, poem or story.
I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time to read my Blogs or watch my Vlogs! Especially to everyone who has “Followed” my Blog! I have gotten many new Followers each & every month this year! Thanks! & WOW! Plus – I have tried to make it easy and painless to follow my blog.

I just Love these eroded stones. Time and running water can erode and split most anything, including solid stone! We try to use these old pieces in our work to give a feature a natural look and feel. Many times it’s a subtle point of interest that doesn’t get noticed until much later. Then one day, months or even years down the road I get a call from a client saying they just love their Water Feature & then they tell me about a special little something they discovered in the stream or Waterfalls 💦 That is always a good day! 😊
Unique stones can give a water feature a naturalistic feel.
I hope this brings a little Zen to your day 😊

This is one of my favorite Waterfalls. The aquatic plants are lush and the waterfall sound is so southing. The Koi get excited when anyone comes around the ponds edge. Check out this short video & I bet you will feel the same way.
I love this waterfall & Pond. Come by Carters Nursery & see it in person sometime.
I hope this adds a little Zen to your day 😊
