I was out in the Garden late last evening. When it gets warm I have a hard time making myself go inside 😊 I captured this little video of a Waterfall for this mornings Moment of Zen… Hope you like it.
There is something about a Waterfall… It will grab your attention and all of a sudden a wave of relaxation washes over you and you are calm, cool and collected… I hope this little snippet will help you relax a bit too 😊
Have a great Monday!

Well Im headed to the house for the evening, but the light was just right so I sat down for a minute to share a moment of Waterfall Wednesday Zen.
This special little space is right behind the Koi Shack. The Water Garden/Pond is approximately 150 square feet in area and a nice Waterfall and Stream flow into the Pond. Your welcome to drop in and see it for yourself during business hours at the Nursery… Feel free to feed the fish, they are ALWAYS hungry 😊

If you are like many Gardeners and live by the ”Last Frost Date” given in the Almanac or in your local paper, you may be very disappointed this morning… I’m getting ready to go out and uncover the hundreds of plants that I have under blankets, sheets and in a big cold frame greenhouse.

Why does it ’sneak up’ on us so often?
With me its all about staying in tune with the particular season. Spring here in West TN fluctuates from sweaty 80’s weather to 60 mile an hour winds with frost and snow ❄️ BUT, that relationship you form with the seasons and the changes is where the Zen lies…
But, its tough to wait! As soon as the forsythia and the daffodil 🌼 blooms I’m already setting up my planters and pots 🪴 And, I try to be ready for people coming in to my Nursery early, which means we spend a month or more moving plants in and out of the greenhouse… 😊

Finding balance and Zen within ourselves is found within our own Gardens…
PS: The good news is, I think we are past Frost now for real!
“The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.”
~ Henry Van Dyke
Have a great Tuesday!

Good afternoon! 🌞 Wow, what a beautiful day 🌼 Spring has Sprung and I am running full speed 🏎 There is no better way for me to slow down and catch my breath than to sit down by my Waterfall with a cup of coffee ☕️ Within minutes I feel like a different man… Heres a short video I made last night of my Waterfall after dark. The Landscape Lighting, along with the Moon made the first day of Spring a beautiful one…
Spring is HERE! Slow down, listen to the Waterfalls! Take the time and smell a few roses 🌹too 😊

Heres a beautiful semi formal Water Garden I had the pleasure of touring while down in Southern Florida recently. It was warm and in bloom and made me dream of Spring…
Spring is coming! Soon our water lilies will be blooming and our koi will be eating from our hands and all will be right in the world of the Water Garden ❤️ Until then, enjoy the season as it unfolds…
Have a great week!

I usually share a Waterfall but this runs a close second in the ability to relax and allow me to zone out and embrace nothingness…
The Gulf of Mexico with not another human being in sight 👁 Priceless!
Have a great night!

I got sidetracked this morning and never got to post a final Monday Moment Of Zen for 2021 😲 So here it is folks… This one was turned on this date (12/27) of December 2020 and is so nice!
Exactly 1 year ago today this Waterfall was set in motion… These folks told me it literally changed their lives!❤️ Thats what having a waterfall right outside your backdoor will do for ya’ 😊
Enjoy this little Moment of Zen! And get ready for a GREAT New Year!
