Enjoy a âMagical Nightâ exploring private gardens at this Unique Garden Tour. Saturday, September 14th is our annual Fall Pond Tour Fundraiser for the Jackson Animal Care Center! The Moonlight Pond Tour always falls on the Saturday night closest to the full Harvest moon & this year we got lucky! The Full Harvest Moon is THE NIGHT of the Tour! Boom đ„Â Donât miss this unique garden tour experience.
The Moonlight Pond Tour takes place each Fall and coincides with the Full Moon (the Harvest Moon). The Moonlight Pond Tour showcases Water Gardens, Pondless Waterfalls, Disappearing Fountains, Koi Ponds & more, all under a Gorgeous âMoonlit skyâ & enhanced by AWESOME Landscape Lighting | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
âPeople LOVE this eventâ says Mark Carter, Owner/Landscape Designer at Carters Nursery Pond & Patio. âThis Tour is unique. Many people have never been on a Garden Tour, much less a Pond Tour, PLUS, this tour is at NIGHT! Once you see the Lighting effects and the Waterfalls shimmering & glowing and the brightly colored fish gliding through the Underwater Lights, you are blown away. This is a great night out with the family and/or a Wonderful Date Nightâ says Carter.
Helping animals in our local community is where this event began & what we still do! ALL the money raised goes to our Local Animal Care Center.
The Jackson Animal Care Center receives 100% of the money from the tickets we sell for the tour! We Love and Support our Local Animal Care Center and we support their Mission in our Community. AND, we truly appreciate YOUR support! Without the community behind this, it wonât work. So please come out and help us make this a Success. Itâs a Win-Win â Enjoy a GREAT night out while helping a worthy cause.â

Time flies when your having Fun! And this year has been a good one! We have enjoyed a beautiful, lush Spring season! Perfect in so many ways đ Now, we move into Summer & for the last 21 years that has meant 1 thing… Pond Tour Time! đ„
Our annual Summer Pond Tour is always the Saturday after Fathers Day! Saturday, June 22nd is the day! Get your tickets Today!
Friday is the 1st official day of Summer, the Summer Solstice! The Summer Pond Tour is our 1st Event of Summer and we just love it! Check out our video for more details –
We have an after party for all the attendees & home owners at the Nursery. Itâs called the âMoonlight Luauâ & if you purchased a ticket YOU are invited!
We open the gates back up at 8pm and the Moonlight Luau is on! Wear your best âLuau Attireâ The Best will receive prizes đ| Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
The Biggest question I have been getting by far is, whatâs up with the Luau⊠Whats it like? What should I wear? Etc⊠SO, I put together a little primer of sorts⊠A set of tips to help with communications and etiquette⊠So, here is a little list for yaâ!
#1 â Smile and have a good time đ Your in a Garden with music, good food and Wonderful People! And you all just raised money that will help many, many Pets! THANK YOU ALL! Much Respect!
#2 â Dress comfortably & with a âLuau Flairâ if possible đ(see rule #1 â have fun).
#3 â For FUN, letâs try to use the words âAlohaâ and âMahaloâ. These are both really special Hawaiian đșwords and they will both apply tonight.
âAlohaâ means many things, but it mostly means Hello and Goodbye đ
âMahaloâ means Thank You! đș
#4 â Itâs Good Luck to take your shoes off in the sand, so feel free to venture out on to âCarter Country Beachâ đ
#5 â Appreciate and Enjoy A Lei â At a real Hawaiian đșLuau, if someone gives you a Lei, it is a sign of peace and friendship. Its a tradition that goes back to the Polynesian Kings, and Hawaiian etiquette dictates that you accept it and wear it as long as you are in the presence of the one who gives it to you. At our Luau â EVERYONE GETS LEID!â đ
Welcome Summer! See yaâ at the Pond Tourđ

We seem to find our share of animals in need đ And sometimes in the darndest places!
We donât know how this little guy found his way into our boat… But he was definitely lost!
When I first saw him hiding in my boat I actually thought it was a baby opossum đźBut instead it was a cute baby kitten that was very scared & very hungry!
He wouldnât eat solid food, but lapped up some half&half đ
After getting something in its belly he became a little socialite, visiting each one of us and being so sweet. We decided we had to find someone who wanted this little baby! 
Almost immediately we had someone say they would love to take her. BUT, she had to talk to her grandkids and their parents…
This lovely lady called her kids about adopting this little kitten for her grandkids! GREAT NEWS! – They worked it out and took this little baby into their family đ
I LOVE it when things work out with abandoned animals! This little baby kitten found a forever home! Thatâs a success story in my book! What was lost is found and allâs good in a little part of the world đ
Have a Great Day!

Our little pack of nursery kittens have all grown up healthy and happy and 3 of the 4 have found a ‘Forever Home’!
Here’s a picture of Sassy & the kittens. She had this small litter of kittens on Easter Sunday night. We kept them dry & warm & Sassy did the rest. | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
We have just one beautiful kitten left that needs a loving home đ Luna is her name and she is a ‘Calico’.
Did you know that almost ALL calico cats are female? In fact, only 1 in 3,000 calico’s is born male! WOW! Why? The tri-color coat is linked to the X chromosome – it takes two X chromosomes to make the 3 colors…
Luna is the sweetest kitten of them all I think. If you want a healthy, happy, beautiful kitten, come by and look at Luna đ
Luna is the sweetest kitten of them all in my opinion. Come by and see her.
The ‘Easter Quadruplets’ have grown up and all but 1 has found a new home. We have been blessed to watch and be able to help these these little babies grow up. Thanks for the feedback and the great comments. AND thanks to everyone who stopped by to see these little beauties.
Have a HAPPY day!

UPDATE : Sassy and the Quadruplets are having FUN!
These kittens are a mess! đ They are into everything! They are officially 1 month old! Times flies when your having fun đ | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
2 of the 4 have been spoken for as of today đ That leaves 2 more that will be needing a good ‘Forever Home’… I don’t know what Sassy will think about them being adopted out? She is a dedicated, ‘Fierce’ mamma!
Sassy, (one of our ‘nursery mousers’) had a litter of 4 kittens on Easter Sunday night. She was a rescue kitty that wasn’t much more than a kitten herself… BUT, she is an AWESOME mamma cat! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
“All’s well”! That’s my Official Report! đ Come by and see these little babies soon. They won’t be here much longer…
Happy Day!
