2020 has been a tough one… As you know we have had to cancel all of our Pond Tours this season, as well as our other yearly events.
Sadly, I regret to inform you that we won’t be able to host this years Moonlight Pond Tour as well. 😥
It’s sad to say, but the Moonlight Pond Tour is postponed until 2021… But, the Full Harvest Moon will still shine and I hope you will get outside and view it 🌝
October actually has 2 Full Moons this year 🌝 The Full Harvest Moon on October 1st and The Full Hunters Moon on October 31st, which makes it a ‘Blue Moon’ 🌚
I encourage you and that special someone to get outside on your own deck or patio and enjoy the coming Harvest Moon for yourself. Maybe a glass of 🍷 & a little music 🎶
We are hoping and praying 🙏🏻 for a vaccine and an end to this mess… AND, We are making plans for 2021 Pond Tours and are Very hopeful about the future.
Thank you all for your support! Prayers 🙏🏻 for your health and safety as we go into the Fall Season. God Bless America 🇺🇸

I was up early to drink coffee and enjoy these wonderful morning temperatures 😊 We were up late last night seeing over the latest Moonlight Pond Tour event. What a wonderful, beautiful night! The weather was perfect & so many people came through to look at the Gardens & Ponds.
It was such a perfect night for a Pond Tour! I just Love this Waterfall! ❤️
Jo and I spent the majority of the night at the nursery selling tickets and visiting with friends new and old. We saw lots of family’s young and old alike, just enjoying being outside in the garden, under the Harvest Moon 🌝 It made me think of this poem by Carl Sandburg-
“Under the harvest moon,
When the soft silver
Drips shimmering
Over the garden nights,
Death, the gray mocker,
Comes and whispers to you
As a beautiful friend
Who remembers.
Under the summer roses
When the flagrant crimson
Lurks in the dusk
Of the wild red leaves,
Love, with little hands,
Comes and touches you
With a thousand memories,
And asks you
Beautiful, unanswerable questions.”
~ Carl Sandburg
