The color change is happening in earnest now! The leaves are gold, orange, red & so beautiful to see. But soon, they will all fall, and that’s when we have to watch for the dreaded “Leaf Dams” that accompany Fall!
So my ‘Pond Tip’ Of the week is to keep your streams and waterfalls clear of fallen leaves and debris. This preventative maintenance, will save you later on down the road have a Great Weekend!

I recently had the pleasure to meet the Ladies of the Helen Schult Garden Club in Caruthersville, Missouri and to speak for their members on my favorite subject- Water Gardening!
Any time I can share my knowledge of this wonderful hobby and Lifestyle, I’m in 😊
The meeting took place at a local members beautiful home, that actually has a Water Garden (that we helped her with)… Her family really enjoys the “Outdoor Lifestyle” that I talk about all the time. Her backyard living area is second to none! Custom paved patio space with an outdoor kitchen, bar and sitting/lounging area beneath a custom Pergola. Complete with a Fire 🔥 feature, a Water Feature and gorgeous pottery and plants… Shang-ra-la…
Have a great “Hump Day”!

It’s #waterfallwednesday y’all! My Favorite Day of the week! This Fabulous little Pondless
Waterfall was put here as a unique focal point in the forefront of a plant screen… PS: we didn’t want it to look like a hedgerow or “screening plants”… Boom 💥 Not only does it look great 24/7 thanks to the Landscape lighting, it sounds wonderful as well 🎶
We even put a small “seat boulder” there at front left for the “Perfect Picture” 😊
This is a recent Water Feature that I just love ❤️ It really transformed a boring area of the landscape. Now, it’s the Central Focal point of the entire area. At night the lights come on automatically and really throw some magic 💥 PLUS : The sound is beyond compare 😘 | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
I hope your Waterfall Wednesday goes well! From here, it’s all downhill to the weekend 😉
Waterfall Wednesday! AKA: Hump Day! Nothing gets me over that hump better than the energy of a Beautiful Waterfall! This one is in the center of a beautiful resort community, nestled along the banks of Kentucky Lake.
I took this picture last night after Midnight. It’s a beautiful Pondless Waterfall Feature at Birdsong Resort and Marina. I just Love Waterfalls ❤️
Waterfall Wednesday is one of my favorite days of the week!
Have a Great One!

Is it just me, or is 2020 moving at a good clip… It’s already #waterfallwednesday again! Here’s a brand new creation we just turned on 💥
This is a newly created Waterfall. It’s the perfect compliment to this small, intimate courtyard. | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
A private courtyard complete with a Waterfall & Swim Stream, a stone bridge rock, a crushed stone walking area (no grass), Japanese Maples 🍁, blooming perennials, cool lighting and a Fire Pit 🔥
Sounds like Waterfall Wednesday to me 😊

Blink an eye 👁 and it’s Waterfall Wednesday again! I get to enjoy my Pond more at night than during the day this time of the year. Last night while feeding the fish I took this shot.
I Love ❤️ this feature of my Water Garden! A moss covered urn spills water into a pool that spills via Waterfall into my pond. It’s so magical! Pictures just don’t do it justice!
I hope you enjoy this beautiful Waterfall! It’s my offering on this #waterfallwednesday

Beautiful night feeding koi and taking a couple of pictures and videos. We had a couple little visitors… Check em’ out 👇🏻
There’s nothing like the sound of the waterfalls and the singing of the frogs 🐸 to relax and get you into a Zen state of mind. Have a great day 🌞

Saturday night was a perfect, warm summer night – in May! 😊 The moon was so bright that everything cast a dark shadow & the water was crystal clear. Such a beautiful night. I got a wild hair to get out and feed the fish again after midnight in the 🌙 light … & I made this video.
My Water Garden never grows old! In fact, It calls me outside 😊 This feeling of connection & peace, I ❤️ My Water Garden! I hope this short video brings you a feeling of Zen as well. Have a great Monday!
