I always enjoy looking back on #throwbackthursday. Today my memory is in full bloom.
As a young man, I spent much of my Summer time working with my Grandad. Gardening, working cattle and cutting, splitting and hauling wood 🪵 for the winter. A HUGE old oak tree fell in a lady’s yard during a storm. Grandad was called to cut it up and haul it away. So we did just that, and more.
The old Oak had fallen in a huge flower bed and destroyed a lot of plants. Including a big drift of these azaleas. She told us to take what we wanted if they were salvageable… So, grandma came over and picked out what she wanted and we dug em up and transplanted them to our home place. When Spring rolls around each year, this Azalea (the last one) is a living reminder of those times spent with my Grandad cutting wood and with my Grandma in the Garden ❤️
Here’s to family memories!

We are planting a beautiful Landscape today! It’s such a beautiful Fall day! WARM! 85 or so🌞 Sweaty ‘Indian Summer’ weather! I’ll take it 😊
Along the line of smoky hills
The crimson forest stands,
And all the day the blue-jay calls
Throughout the autumn lands.
Now by the brook the maple leans
With all his glory spread,
And all the sumachs on the hills
Have turned their green to red.
Now by great marshes wrapt in mist,
Or past some river’s mouth,
Throughout the long, still autumn day
Wild birds are flying south.
~ William Wilfred Campbell
Have a great day!

Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio- A Local Jackson, Tn. Nursery & Water Feature Designer/Installer is looking for Seasonal Full time Help (Now thru December, into Spring and beyond, based on the weather. We are seeking motivated individuals who would like to grow with us and our Nursery/Water Feature/Landscape family. FYI, Motivated means that you are moving all day and not standing around.. 🙂 You can check Facebook at lunch…
Some experience in the construction industry would be great. But a Landscaping background is not required. Mainly you must have a good work ethic! My guys and I are hard workers and I expect nothing less than the work ethic that was instilled in me by my dad & grandfather.
A valid Drivers License is a Must! And being on time is REQUIRED! (That means a few minutes early).
We are primarily a Water feature company that installs Ponds, Streams, Waterfalls, Stone Work, Landscape Structures & Plantings.
– We also have a Nursery/Garden Center that needs part time help…
For the Construction Job – You Must be able to lift at least 50 lbs repeatedly. Boulders & stone are heavy! A wheelbarrow full of dirt is a lot harder to move than you think!
This is full time job, that is somewhat seasonal.
Perfect for a student to work through the Fall and Winter semester and into Spring OR someone wanting Full Time work!
Starting pay is based on experience & driving ability/record. If you work hard, you will advance in pay quickly!
This is a Fun place to work and we take great pride in our work.
Hours are normally 8am to 5pm. , M-F, and some Saturdays are required. Sometimes we do start as early as 6am and may work later than 5pm. This is construction after all, you have to make hay when the sun shines.
If you do not have the experience and qualifications listed above.. ↑ go ahead & read it again, then don’t apply. If your Facebook page is unacceptable to your family, don’t apply. If you hope that I don’t do background checks.. then don’t apply.. No I don’t drug test but if that was a deal breaker, don’t apply, I may change my mind. If I have to call your roommates, brothers, girlfriends or grandma and leave a message to get to you, don’t apply. No we are not on a bus route.. BUT If you made it this far, proceed .. ↓
Send a reply to this message & I will contact you for an interview. (please send in messenger). OR, come by and pick up a job application to fill out and leave me your name & #. I will contact you for an appt.
Are you excited?!
