ARE YOU – looking for a fun place to work? Who isn’t right? Out of school for the Covid? Sick of your boss? Wanna work hard with a bunch of really cool, fun guys?? Wanna look forward to going to work everyday? Do you wanna look back at a finished project and go “I built that!!” Well then, I may have just the place for you!!
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.
If your like me, time has a way of slippin’ up on ya’… You’ve been meaning to mulch your trees and plants before winter temps really set in, and you just saw the weather forecast! 😬 If you didn’t, PS: Lows in the teens (windchills in the single digits) all next week! 🥶 Plus a chance of ice & Snow ❄️
Mulch will do more than look great! It will stabilize the soil temperature around your plants and help protect them from damaging freezes| Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
So, if your a “Last Minute” guy or gal, Today is your Lucky Day! Today from 8am till 2pm. Bulk Hardwood Bark Mulch is only $20 per scoop, including tax! You pick the color! Boom 💥
All you have to do is mention that you saw this, that’s it! How about that for a flash sale😎

I penned this one several years ago but it still gets read and brought up to me. This one was published in Tennessee Gardener & I have had many Master Gardeners bring the article to shows and events over the years. It’s still very relevant today so I wanted to re-blog it 😊 I don’t have all the original pictures that were published with the story anymore. Let me know what you think. It’s all about Ourdoor Living!
Outdoor Lifestyle Areas allow you to really enjoy the backyard. A Pond, Patio, grill and garden area to get comfy is the Ultimate! This is one of my Outdoor Room displays at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tn. 38305
Living The Life Abundant
I see more and more people staying home these days… myself included. Instead of taking that trip to Spain, France or even Disney World, more and more of us are staying local and putting our time and money into our Homes & BACKYARDS! This is a huge trend across the country and it has been growing by leaps and bounds since 9/11. The trend has a name too, they call it …“Cocooning”…
It makes good sense to me! Instead of spending your vacation running around the country, spending all the money you saved, just to get back home more exhausted than before you left; Why not put your time and money into your home and backyard and enjoy it year round with your family and friends… Watergarden’s, Koi Ponds, Swimming Pools, Backyard Patios and Decks, Outdoor Kitchens with Herb Gardens and Pottery overflowing with Vegetables and Flowers 🤗 Sound good? That sounds like the ‘Life Abundant’ to me !
Lakeside Living at its Best
One of my clients recently decided to sell his beautiful home and build a new home in a local, private lakeside development. After I saw the lot I was as excited as he and his wife were! Living on the water is a wonderful thing! I was asked to work up a ‘simple’ backyard plan that would include a swimming pool with natural stone waterfalls, a watergarden with aquatic plants and fish, a stone patio with lots of space and a fishing area down by the lake. In other words, a resort right there in their own backyard. “Cocooning 101 ”!
We went to work right away and developed a ‘Concept Design’ for the back yard. With only a few minor changes we were ready to get started creating their new ‘Back yard Resort’. It was a fairly large scale job and the actual work took approximately 1 month to complete. We used specimen quality stone and nice mature plant material on this project so the first full season for this landscape looked like it had been there for quite awhile. Let me tell you folks… It changed their lives for the good!
This is a Google Earth image of the project that this story was written about over 10 years ago. Complete with a huge stone patio, large Koi Pond bordering/between the upper patio & the Pool deck/patio. An in-ground pool with a beautiful waterfall and jump rock & gorgeous landscaping right on the side of the lake. | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
Just Do It
Whether you live on a lake or on any average city street, you too can create a Backyard Haven that you will love coming home to each and every day. It all starts with a basic Landscape Plan; Sit down with pen and paper and do a basic sketch, OR call me, I can help! Include a place to sit within the garden, a deck or patio, be sure to include a Fountain or Watergarden, definitely some beautiful Shrubs and Flowers, maybe some basic Vegetables and Herbs in the Landscape or in a container like Tomato’s or Basil and Cilantro. Before you know it, you will be eating dinner out there every night. Your Lifestyle will change for the better – and you my friends will be living the ‘Life Abundant’ !
